Food bank refferal refused by LWP - need advise desperate
Posted by DavidPlat@reddit | Shoestring | View on Reddit | 5 comments
Im really struggling to get by for the last 2 months after losing my only family member I have and have not ate anything but some soup for 4 days and have nothing until Thursday.
I applied for the food bank voucher yesterday with the local authority and I received a response this morning telling me that I arnt eligble for a voucher as there is a limit on the amount of refferals of 4 times a 6 month peroid
Iv been sat doing surveys on my phone for almost 4 hours today and barely managed to earn £2 in 4 hours, but i am constantly being disqualified from surveys before being able to start or complete them, I cant even focus anymore
II literally dont know what to do at this point as I have nobody close that can help me.
Really need advice on what to do

Can you speak with a social worker? You need money. Any kind of temporary work will do. Are there temp agencies nearby? That will pay you actual money, more than phone surveys.

Currently im waiting on therepy support, i have disability that prevent me from being able to work im in process of benefit application for being unable to work. Ive literally just been tryinf to do surveys for a small amount i know they arnt good but to be able to get some food now, Ive been trying it but it really isnt working its just frustrating

it was the small local church I had gone to months back for help and advice, it was rhe lady their that had showed and helped me with getting a refferal to food bank in the first place, and mentioned that they didnt have anything directly to help with. She may of also not known about a limit.
