I renewed my tax credits online - as soon as i got the letter instructing me to do so. However, this must not have worked as i did not receive my tax credits on saturday as normal. I use this money every week to get my shopping so i now have no money for food shopping, nappies etc! I had to get a crisis loan two weeks ago to get a bed as mine had broken and also a cot for my 10 month old... am i able to apply for another one for food untill my tax credits are sorted? I get income support next friday but i will obviously need money now to tide me over... please help!
