Welfare and Benefits

Do you need welfare benefits advice?

Many people miss out on benefits because they don't know what they are entitled to. We can provide free, confidential advice and a guide through the complex and often confusing benefits maze.

There are literally dozens of different benefits, each with there own individual rules of entitlement. The problems only begin with understanding what to claim.

We have highly trained advisors who can help you. Contact us if you need help with the following kinds of matters:-

• Can you get money in an emergency?
• You have been asked to repay money overpaid
• You wish to obtain backdating or have been refused backdating
• Problems with your annual declaration for tax credits
• Decisions refusing benefit
• You are a national of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland and you want to know what you can claim
• Exporting benefits from other EEA countries
• You have been advised that you do not have a right to reside
• You failed the habitual residence test
• You are a national of a non-EEA country; can you claim benefits?

• You have been told that you are not allowed recourse to public funds and want to know what this means
• You are subject to an HMRC compliance check
• Applications for Discretionary Housing Payments
• Administrative penalties
• Payment of your benefits have been suspended
