Lucie Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi everyone, I don't mean to sound like 'a sponge of society' (as my brother says!) But, I have left university now after doing PGCE which i didnt work during bc needed to focus (i worked through the whole of my degree), but now i have no £, theres nowhere near me to do temp work (the place i normally go to for some extra cash has shut) and I have a job lined up to start teaching in september. Does anyone know if i can claim any sort of help, ive obviously got no money coming in now but still need to live, and won't get paid for work til end of sep (i think) so was thinking if i could claim something i could save some and spread it out so that i would be able to get to work in sep!! Any advice greatly appreciated. Lucie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Might be worth having a chat with your local CAB, as I believe the benefits system is a nightmare to understand and they'll know all about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Contact your local job centre or apply online. Friend of mine supply teaches and has just signed on as clearly she has no work for 6 weeks. IF you don't ask you won't get! It's one of the benefits of a social society. Cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
