If you put your Daughters DLA in a different purse to keep it separate from your money what happened to your own money?

And why keep it separate if it's just another part of the housekeeping?

That's really sad.

I found £100 last Xmas and handed it to police station. No-one claimed it though.

Hope someone hands your daughter's purse in

Food banks are you only recourse I;m afraid.


Hope someone hands it in.


Let us know though

Why on earth would the CO-OP offer a gesture of goodwill? She failed to secure the purse and says she lost it between the shop and home, it's nothing to do with them.

I said "I doubt they would" but they may check CCTV to see it wasn't stolen by a pickpocket.

What about a crisis loan? Or an insurance claim?

Hi, Insurance helped me before with cash being stolen but not lost, had police crime number and proof i had drawn the cash out.

Took about 4 weeks to sort out.

Hi everyone,
....had £150 cash of my daughter's DLA in a seoerate cash purse to keep it separate from my own money. ....we genuinely have no money until late next week. Thank you

You had two lots of money - DLA money and 'your' money. So while you are apparently £150 down you should still have 'your money'.

Do as cheap a shop as you can manage, utilise everything in the cupboards. You'll manage.

What a load of judgemental posts in response to a simple question. As long as OP's child(ren) are supported it's no ones business what they spend their money on.
