If you are already receiving Universal Credit you may also be able to get a Budgeting Advance to help pay for emergency household costs, for example, buying a new cooker or for help getting a job or staying in work.

Budgeting Advances provide valuable access to interest free payments for one- off items. They are designed to help claimants with irregular expenses, for example:
 obtaining or retaining employment such as work clothes, tools, travelling
expenses and childcare costs
 buying essential household items such as furniture, cot, pram, appliances,
clothing and footwear
 help with rent in advance or removal expenses to secure new accommodation
 improvement, maintenance and security of their home
 Funeral expenses
They are not intended to help pay for unexpectedly high household bills, for example – an electricity or gas bill.
