Achyshakeypains

Hi Im looking to try and get a Budgeting Advance as my cooker has broken down and I have no £ to pay for one untill 17 days times, What proof what I need to show them to have the advance, do I need to send in back statments and proof of purchaces ect also it says You'll also need to have earned less than £2,600 in the 6 months before your application. This figure is £3,600 if you live with a partner. Does this include benifits payments or from working or both,

The figures you quoted are earnings, if you work. Your benefits payments are not treated as earnings in this case.

You won't need to show them any evidence of what you want the loan for. You will just need to tell them what you want it for.

If you have an existing budgeting advance that you're still paying back you will not be able to take another until that one is paid off.

There's a maximum amount of loan you can have depending on circumstances. If you're a single person then the amount would be less.
