hi all

Would anyone be able to advise me if Can I request my esa early if in financial hardship, I can’t have a budgeting advance from uC as I am still paying one off. My esa isn’t due until next weds but have literally nothing at all

    Unfortunately it won't be possible to request this. When is your next UC payment due?

    Do you have a friend or family member you can ask to borrow some money from? If not and you don't have any food then can you access a food bank in your area. There's some information here.

    If you also need money for prepayment energy meters they can also provide vouchers for that.

    Good morning @longtallsally67. Did you manage to sort anything out?
