Benefits claimants can get up to £812 from DWP to spread the cost of household essentials

Benefits claimants struggling to pay for essentials may be able to tap into a loan from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to spread the cost.

People claiming certain DWP benefits can apply for a loan of up to £812, but the name of the loan and the way you apply for it depends on which benefits you claim.

Those who have been claiming Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Pension Credit for at least six months may be eligible for a Budgeting Loan.
