What is the maximum loan available and what are the best reasons to use on the form?

    The maximum loan available depends on your personal circumstances and then how much you already owe to the Social Fund (you're only allowed to owe them so much). The best reasons are the truthful ones, surely? I thought it was tick boxes anyhow. How much you pay back weekly depends partially on how much you get, and how much you're allowed to pay back as a percentage.

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)
