Help us find who's missing out on benefits

Missing out image

Do you have family or friends who are struggling to get by on benefits? Are they getting enough – or just getting by?

Many people are finding it harder to cope these days especially with the rising cost of living. Imagine what it must be like if you are elderly and living on a basic pension, or struggling to cope with illness or disability in the family? Problems are always more keenly felt when your income, and the prospect of getting more, is limited.

We want to help more people – and you can help us to do that!

We recognise that Council employees might help us to reach many thousands of vulnerable people who could otherwise slip through the net. However, if you know someone who might need our help you can do your bit by putting them in touch with us via one simple phone call.

Just one phone call will get access to expert advice that might identify extra entitlements – from higher benefits, to fuel poverty measures even down to free low energy light bulbs. Our service is confidential and secure, we will help with the claim forms – and we will fight people’s corner if the decision isn’t right.

For further information please contact us via the details on this page.
