People receiving certain benefits who are in need of extra financial support could claim hundreds of pounds from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Known as a Budgeting Loan, this money can be granted to eligible people who are in need of some help paying for essential goods or services.
Around £812 is available to those receiving income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), Coventry Live reports, as well as income-based Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Income Support and Pension Credit. To be eligible, you must have been receiving one of these benefits for at least six months.
It's also worth noting that it will all have to be repaid and this will be done via deductions to your future benefit payments.
