will i be able to claim a crisis loan? (cont from friday)

Ok, first of all, thanks to those who answered and helped before. Now, if you remember I had been misinformed by the DWP and didnt qualify for a CGC, budgeting loan or crisis loan for household goods because Im on contribution based ESA. having moved into an unfurnished flat, this had left me without a cooker etc for 3 weeks. so yesterday, I went out and bought a cooker, using the money from my ESA. Now Im broke.

will i be able to apply for a crisis loan for food and electricity in order to recover the cost of the cooker, as no other help was available to me? if not, what should I say when I call?

    To be honest, you didn't need to buy a cooker; a table top mini hob (£9) and a slow cooker (£20) would have sufficed. If you are going to claim for a crisis loan I would suggest honesty.

    @zara, can i ask why you are typing like that when your other posts show you can actually type in English?
