in Cost of living
Hey all. Just a query. If I apply for a advance would this affect me from getting the cost of living payment? Not sure tbh if it would. Thanks all.

    No such thing as 'silly things' @son_of_boris. Does anything, in particular, usually help you when you are feeling worried? 

    Hopefully, as a community, we have been able to reduce some of your worries but please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you  :)

    I have reported the above post by Michael02 - it's a big scam.  Don't get taken in by it.

    I haven't quoted it because it contains a link to a dangerous email address.
