Hi there, wondering if anyone can help. I’m in a rubbish position where I had been offered a job and due to start next week but unfortunately contracts were not sent out in time and now the job offer has obviously been withdrawn, it’s not like i can find a job elsewhere at the moment, and as a home owner I won’t be entitled to any benefit, I used to be self employed but changed my status due to planning to go back to normal employment so I won’t be eligible for any support that they put in place for the self employed either but am really worried financially as no savings to fall Back on, apart from a mortgage holiday is there anything I can do?
