How We Help

Benefits

The many different types of benefits, criteria, points systems and payment rates can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. We deal with issues related to Welfare benefits, Health, Housing, Debt, Education, LPA, ETC. We do casework , including requesting reviews, appeals and representations. If we have no capacity to deal with any problem we will signpost and refer to other specialist agencies.

We offer practical advice and support to all aspects of benefits. The aim of our service is to:

  • Provide you with information about the benefits system and application process
