How come people who don't need money can get it and those who need it can't?

I know where you are coming from. We are currrently have to live in our camper. My husband just called out to work about an hour ago. So now maybe this will last a while. I am back to looking for a place to live. I could use the help with the cost of the first months rent and deposit. But will I get it..I doubt it..I can't seem to get the help when I really need it. I would love to know how other people can get anything and you knowing that they really don't need it. They just get it cause it is free. Sometimes life just isn't fair. I still keep my head high and never stop smiling.

If you find out, please tell me! It's the same reason the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It's basically because the government and benefits agencies etc are run by people who have plenty of money in the first place, so they don't understand what it's like to NEED a crisis loan or anything like that.

I don't know how they figure it out because, I would think, if you are able to pay it back then you must already have it in the first place. Surely the point of it is to help people who will pay it back later because that's why you need it now. Sometimes the same people who do the crisis loans (I think) do grants as well but I don't know how you would go about applying for that. I remember several years ago, I had a grand total of £15 a week to live on so I applied for a grant (because I knew I would struggle to pay back a loan) but they gave me a loan. I don't think they even said it was a loan and not a grant until they'd already given it to me so I had no choice but to accept it whether I was able to pay it back or not. Anyway, there seem to be lots of things that work like that where, basically, if you genuinely need help, you can't have it and other rules that don't make sense including offering help with one hand and taking it away from somewhere else.
