The scheme is not part of the benefits legislation. All awards are made at the Council's discretion. To be eligible you will need to show that your circumstances are exceptional.

You will be asked to provide various forms of evidence to help with the decision making process. This may include bank statements. We cannot proceed with your application if you fail to provide what is requested.
