Wanting them to make a decision is one thing - getting them to make a decision is quite another. And yes I am speaking from probably more recent experience here..

To the OP are you aware that its 3 relevant crisis loan awards each not 3 crisis loans per couple - who has made the applications to date?

Also a 4th and subsequent awards can be made if the crisis has been caused by circumstances that are outside the applicants control. Personally I would strongly argue that if all the infomation required by the benefit provider has been submitted and a decision has still not been made that is text book circumstances outside an applicants control.

A crisis loan is never an ideal solution but I think you should be able to get awarded if there is a complete absence of money in the household and no way of obaining the basics such as food and power.

HB almost always suspend when benefits are not in payment but if you pull the line with them to point out that this is an income based benefit and you can visibly demonstrate you have no income then they do not actually have a viable reason to refuse HB/LHA payments.

I still don't understand why ESA,can't ask all documents at once,they keep saying something is missing... I've filled ESA 3,then a second form about working 16 hours a week in December,while my benefit was suspended and waiting to hear about my apeal. I'm waiting to go to tribunal about the medical report.In the mean time my GP found that i need a hernia operation and today i'm having a CT Scan because they found a ciste or a tumour in my lung if i don't have enough grounds to get my ESA I can't possibly imagine who might have. My situation is getting dramatic and i explained that to the council and to ESA people but, it all seems to be in vain. One year ago i attempted suicicide because of all their "messing around".Now all that is holding me together it's my little daughter.

Take EVERYTHING you have with you relating to any benefit claims, letters from benefits for the last, at least, 12 months. Good luck!
