Stirling District Citizens Advice Bureau has produced a guide to surviving if you have no money or food
The guide has been produced in response to the number of appeals for help made by clients who are destitute.
It includes information on help available from:
- Local Authorities
- Scottish Welfare Fund and Social Work Payments
- DWP Payments
- Budgeting Loans, Benefit Advances and Hardship Payments
- Other local aid - Welfare groups, Charities, food banks
- Challenging decisions - appeals, compensation for hardship due to mistakes or delays
- A list of other sources of help - including help with debt, budgeting and homelessness
