Can you ask for an advance whilst claiming lcwra

daniel333

hi there I’ve searched low and high and have not found one thread that explains if you can apply for a advance of claiming lcwra, I have been claiming for over a year now, and unfortunately circumstances have led me to needing extra money this month, im worried about putting on my journal asking for an advance in case im not entitled to it, so before I do so I was just wondering if im eligible to ask or because im getting lcwra that im not aloud, also if I am aloud I am confused in which type of advance to ask for as it is for household goods
