J is a lady in her 60s whose children have left home. The under occupancy penalty came into force and she was unable to cover basic living costs. She then accumulated rent and Council Tax arrears. The council has managed to find her a smaller property. She left her electric cooker behind as there was only connection for a gas cooker in the new property. J is unable to buy a gas cooker as she is on Universal Credit. The cooker that will be ordered is £275 and we already have £25 for it.

E is leaving her partner as a result of domestic abuse and he won't let her take anything. She is staying with family but there is no bed for her.
