Applying for food benefits after losing my job - first time posting

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
