    yeah right, so the same people that have taken away the crisis loans and the back to work money!

    He may well win an appeal, I doubt it but even if he does, he still then has his money stopped until he wins the appeal, so either way he is living on fresh air, at least this way he has a chance of a job.
    What way? I thought the OP cant get there and has nothing to live on.

    isn't this what the thread is about, him trying to come up with a way, ever hear of hope, your way he stays on the dole, this way he at least tries.

    I think we both know what the situation is, so why argue between ourselves, it's a bit daft really.

    Yes but the question is what does anyone do when they cant get any help?

    Anyone know?

    The Tories know..."Look for a job, not benefits" that's as far as their thinking goes :rotfl:

    Haven't you got any ideas ?

    Didn't you think of this before taking job ?

    How much do you need, have you calculated, £300 ?

    1, no idea hence asking here
    2, A job is better than not having 1 despite what hurdles you have to overcome.
    3, I'm looking for £100. I think £100 cash to take will be enough,
    That's basic food rationing/water/fuel

    Then next job would be over come with "WTC"

    I can get there. Car comes with a full tank of fuel. I'm talking about food and such. Not like i'm going to go from NE England to work in Scotland and live in bins lol.

    I just thought future fuel until i get cash from work will come from WTC when i return home.
    Pretty sure 3 days after i change Tax Credits claim i get a cash lump sum but i wont have card on me as Fiancee needs it to feed kids. Only i have a bank not her and money goes in my bank.

    Prior to Grants been removed i would have had access to £250 for getting a job but daftys stopped it and still pushing people into work with nothing.

    I'm not saying i should be paid to go to work but rather have "Help" if been pushed into work.

    I'm basically only needing 8 days worth of food and hopefully enough to get some things like holdall/towel ( all home towels have mickey mouse and such on ) i don't want to look like a wally using 1 of them.

    Friends or family. :eek: :rotfl:

    Family borrow you their credit card & PIN.

    Pawn something.

    Someone borrows you money, if you give something as collateral which you return when you pay back. (I borrowed some money to someone once to go on holiday and they gave some benefit giros to cash.)

    Talk to employer, can they sort something out.

    Good luck.

    Asked brother for a lend, He asked when i can pay back so hopefully he can. Have to wait for email as he works nights so i don't really see him much as he sleeps daily.
