hi i had 150 about 6 months ago i was told you can only have 300 so i guess you have had the max i was told you can only have one but it wont hurt to call and ask
I had more than one and they were both more than £300. I think it was quite exceptional though but there's no harm in asking.
I've applied a while back, heard nothing. Just typical for me.
I had a look at the website - you have to apply through a nurse or social worker, you must have less than 6K in savings and your disposable income (ie. after paying rent/rates/insurance/taxes) must be no more than £100/wk. per person per household.
OMG I would LOVE to have a disposable income of £100 a week, I would consider us really really well off if we did!!!
Just wondering about more than 1 but since I've managed to get some stuff in the sales dirt cheap tshirts etc.
Elttiks - you've not had a good time at all have you
I think it should be based on what you have after debts, expenses etc. Not income.
El K - that's what disposable income is - what you have after compulsary expenses and that would include debts, but not food, clothing, household goods or travel.
Most people are more likely to miss out because of the first criterion - savings over £6K. Unfortunatley the same people aren't eligible for means-tested benefits either and for the same reason.
