Cassie's rent, bills & Lotte repair

As many of you know, I have struggled with depression for somewhere in the region of 20 years, and have had a bad run of it over the last couple of months since my mum died. This culminated in a suicide attempt at the beginning of February.

My doctor has kept me signed off work since, and I've returned to work this week. 

I've had an email today from my HR department advising me that I won't be getting paid for the 5 weeks I've been off and they will be deducting £1800 from my wages. This is more than my actual months wages and they will be splitting it over 2 months, deducting £867 gross from my March and April salaries.

This leaves me completely unable to pay my rent, my bills or even get to work. My monthly salary is £1572 gross so taking off the £867 leaves me with £705.50 gross - or about £550 after tax

My basic monthly outgoings come to £950ish a month.

You can see how the maths there doesn't add up!

As you can imagine, I'm having epic panic right now. I'm trying to get hold of Citizens Advice to find out what options are available to me but I honestly don't know how I'm going to manage.

Please, please, if you're able to help, every penny is appreciated like you would not believe.

Thank you <3
