Budgeting Loan

I was wondering if anyone could help me, I sent off my budgeting loan application on the 14/06/2014, I was just wondering whether I should of heard anything from them yet? Or whether it would be worth me giving them a ring?

There isn't much on-line that is up to date about budgeting loans, it all seems to be from 2012.

Thank You

    Hi i had a budgeting loan from the social fund a few times.
    Its been about a week since you applied, give it at most another 7 working days.
    Normally if you get accepted one of two things will happen.
    1 you get a call from them to confirm acceptance they call withheld.
    Or
    2 you get a letter from the social fund explaining wether you are accepted or not and if you are accepted how much you will get

    If and once you get accepted the money will usually go in to your nominated bank account within 3 working days.
