Benefits Advice

Did you know that:

  • you may be entitled to some help with your rent and council tax even if you are working or have savings?
  • you may be entitled to claim extra help if you are disabled?
  • the money you pay in Child Care Costs can be ignored from your income?
  • you may be entitled to Tax Credits even if you don’t have a family?
  • you may be able to claim EXTRA help with your rent and Council Tax on top of your Housing Benefit?
  • many energy and utility companies have funds set aside to help customers in serious debt?

If you are struggling to manage and have lots of debts, we may be able to help by contacting the people to whom you owe money.  Sometimes we are able to apply for special one-off payments from charitable funds to help with your debts.

If we can’t help, we’ll put you in touch with experts who can.
