...much can you apply for? my friend is taking the p*** when it comes to social she has a 4 year old daughter and has never worked since she had her she claims benefits and stays at her boyfriends house about 5 nights a week leaving her daughter with her parents she has money for top clothes nights out seems to have far more spare cash than me. She recently told me she applys community care grants every 26 weeks and gets between 500 to 2000 each time what she dont have to pay back? Does anyone know if their are limitations on how many times you can apply for this and if their is certain criteria you need to fill before applying?
