I've been on disability benefits for a while after getting cancer and having a stroke that has left me partially blind and mostly unable to use my left side. At my last assessment they wrongfully stopped my benefits and I had to go through appeal. During this time they stop your money. And I don't have any family, no-one to help. I have nearly maxxed out my overdraft during this time. It takes a week to get to use the food bank and they only give you three days worth of food each time, so that's 4 days each week without food.
The food bank parcels also only contain things like pasta and sauce with some crisps and cookies, not exactly healthy or filling (my gums are bleeding I'm pretty sure I've got scurvy now.) Please advise me on the cheapest possible ways to make a filling and nutritious meal. I only have £9.36 available balance left and nothing left from my last food bank parcel. What meals can I make to make this stretch out as long as possible?
