Two hundred pounds, two days, and four questions
What it can pay for
Anything. Electricity, a school uniform, a car repair that saves a job. There is no list of approved purposes.
How to ask
Four questions on a form or by phone. Who you are, what has happened, how much, and how to pay you. Nothing about your income.
Who decides
Two people, within two working days. They do not know each other's decision until both are made and either can approve it alone.
