We were living separately and I have huge expenses myself from training that I had to pay for and bills and loans that I have to pay off. I can pay the £5k but it will mean hardship for the rest of the family as it is more than the family's spare money after bills each month. Just need to extend the loans! Just need to know why it has gone from £3.5k to over £5k.

So you were running 2 households on that income and now you're only running one? Surely you're saving more than £1.5k in household expenses now?

You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
