£130 needed for food, energy costs and a smartphone
D has 2 young children and recently moved into her own flat after spending time living in a women’s refuge. Her benefits are being changed to Universal Credit and the delay in receiving her first payment has meant that she has run out of money. She would appreciate help with food and energy costs but she is also in need of a smartphone as she currently has no internet access and is unable to monitor her Universal Credit account. If she cannot access her account on-line this could lead to further delays in payment and further hardship.
