Everyone could do with a bit of extra crash amid the current cost-of-living crisis and it's for that reason that the Department for Work and Pensions has launched a new loan.
Only people claiming certain benefits will be eligible to apply for the cash boost. Titled the Budgeting Loan, claimants can apply for the money to help them pay for essential products or services which they would otherwise be unable to afford due to their current circumstances.
You can apply online or using a paper form, but it's quicker to apply online.
