Request Details
I’m really stuck for food and petrol for the next week 
  I was meant to receive my PIP payment yesterday , but they have sent it to a incorrect bank account that I don’t have access to and did speak to them 2 weeks ago to confirm that the payment would be sent to my current account and they assured me that it would be processed within time for yesterday payment but they haven’t. I’ve been on the phone to them all day yesterday trying to sort it out but they haven’t said it would take 2-5 days to recall money to send to current account. They did provide me with the DAF payment but I’ve exhausted that option. I have appointments that I need to attend to within the next 5 days can I’m concerned about getting to them. Also, food is running really low and. Concerned about not being able to get to food bank because of petrol. Please could you help.

Expense policies
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.

If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people. 

Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
