Welfare Rights advice

Not sure what to claim? Been disallowed benefits, overpaid or need to challenge a decision?

We offer a specialist advice, information and casework service on issues affecting your benefits.

This includes helping you to work out what benefits you are entitled to, challenging decisions and helping you to increase your income. We can advise you if your benefit has been stopped or if you have been overpaid benefit. We can also help you prepare your case for 1st and 2nd tier tribunals and in some cases we provide representation and advocacy.

What we don't do

It’s always best if you can fill in the forms yourself, but if you are unable to do this, and don’t have anyone who can help you, we might be able to offer you an appointment with one of our volunteers who can go through the form with you.
