    I've recently moved into a new apartment I am getting rent allowance and have just started back working part time since I had the baby. My maternity benefit stopped last week which means I won't be paid again til my wages at the end of the month I literally have no money for the month and i got a gas and esb bill the other day and they want 200 security deposit on top of the bill. I have no idea what to do I cant get that kind of money. I seen a few girls in the swo with bills? Does anyone know if the sw officer helps to pay bills?

    The bills might have been for proof of address.

    Jenn are you living with anyone? You may be entitled to one parent family if your on your own and if your working part time you could get the family income supplement.
