    lolaboots,
    I don't know much about these as the discretionary assistance fund only exists in Wales, & I haven't had much experience of working there. However, I've had a look and if it was paid by BACS you should have had it at most 2 or 3 days after it was paid. If you haven't seen it by now there's definitely a problem - after all it is supposed to be for an emergency!

    Hopefully you've got it now - if you haven't, I'd ask the fund what is going on. Their number is 0800 859 5924.

    Will
