i had a few months on the sick last year , awaiting an op on my knee,
what a night mare 6 weeks before you get a penny, i had to apply for a crisis loan , they sent me down to main office to pick up a cheque, drunks and druggies waiting for there cheques, crisis loans are for people who are genuinely in need not scroungers, i could,nt wait to get out of there ,never again

I did similar thing early in the year. Didn't get anything on the day but have had a couple of calls since which I had to turn down owing to being too busy from the previous times I'd gone knocking on doors. I look on it like planting seeds.
