Who Can Re-Apply

You can re-apply for Temporary Additional Support after 13 weeks if you and your partner have had no changes in circumstances. However, if something has changed, you’ll need to still meet the criteria for Temporary Additional Support

2. reasonable steps to increase your income and reduce your costs, eg
