SFE payment brought forward.

SFE payment brought forward.

Due to moving house in September I am experiencing financial hardship and I can’t pay my bills.

I have spoken to SFE and submitted a form
Is there any timescale that it can be looked at as I am a single parent and cannot pay for food or heating.
