The budgeting loan telephone number that you will have to call will depend on where you live in the UK and is broken down by postcode. Unlike the Crisis Loan number, the budgeting loan contact lines are not free and are actually 0845 numbers, given that you may end up on the phone form half an hour plus, we suggest that you DO NOT CALL the budgeting loan number, but that you call the free crisis loan number instead.
The Budgeting Loan section of Jobcentre Plus at the DWP has recently been changed to a new 0345 number that is free from mobiles – check out the telephone numbers page for the lastest Budgeting Loan telephone number
Yes, it sounds odd, but they use the same system and should be able to tell you if your application has been processed, and if your payment has been sent including the date that you BL is expected to credit.
