Hi I don't know what to do. I've been out of work as I've been recovering from surgery. I work freelance, my contract with work ended late December and starts again on the 13th of Feb. My ftm top surgery was this month 3rd of Januar 2013 and I have been on the sick. Work only payed me £62 for sick pay (due to tax) and all the money went on my rent bills and food end of last month. Now I have all my bills coming out soon and universal credit has said they can only grant me £100 to help with costs. Which isn't enough to pay my bills. I don't know where else to turn until I'm back in work on the 13th of Feb (my contract starts). My rent is 350 and universal credit will only give me £100 for it (which I'm still waiting for) as I worked last month. (But obviously all that money went on last months rent/bills). Is there anything you can do to help. I've attached images of my rent, universal cedit work contract and latest payslip. Thanks, T

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.
