Benefits and support Apply for a cash grant if you are in financial crisis

How the cash grant is paid

If your application is successful, we'll email you a cash voucher that you'll need to print out. You'll need to let us know if you can't print the voucher

You can use the voucher anywhere that has a 'Paypoint' terminal and will need to take an official letter or bill that confirms your name and address.

You apply for a cash grant through our 'welfare provision' scheme. You can only apply online and you will need to know your National Insurance number to apply.
