Okay MarkN88

I am wearing my expensive new Nike's and someone stops me and mugs me by holding me down through their own choice and runs off with my training shoes.

Is it my fault or did that person choose to do it?

James

Are Nike gonna replace the trainers?

Dont just answer you want to...

KatrinaWaves,

Well no of course not. But, the DWP will give me a crisis loan to pay for a new set of footwear as it was my last pair and I only have my JSA to live on and the training shoes were a present for my birthday from someone who is in full time employment with a wage and and access to credit.

You still have not said yet is it my fault I am the victim of a crime?

The crisis loan and crisis loan review decision and application do still exist only the fund has been transferred to your local authority.

Crisis loans in England no longer exist and haven't done since 2011.

Budgeting loans/advances are available through DWP, which need to be repaid back.



DHPs are available through your local council for help with rent payments. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/claiming-discretionary-housing-payments/claiming-discretionary-housing-payments

Oops my errors but you are also wrong.

They are now crisis grants and processed one the same day or at the latest the following morning if you apply after I think it is 3pm it is all done by telephone.

Hope this helps.

Okay so you get a crisis grant or whatever from the DWP.

I come along, and I steal that from your bank because I have your bank card and managed to learn your pin through your own carelessness.

Do you think the DWP should give you another crisis grant?

No imagine I did this to you for 6 month....

Exactly as i thought. Having used that link and put my postcode in the only help that's available is the DHP.... NO crisis loans because they don't exist in England.



You're living in dream land...
