Benefits And Financial Help
People with a disability or carers often have higher financial needs than others. This can be because of a range of factors including reduced income, increased living expenses, travel costs and the need to buy expensive equipment. The Information Team can advise on statutory and charitable funding sources that may be available. We provide “better-off” calculations to ensure that clients are receiving all the correct benefits that they are entitled and can assist clients by helping them fill in forms.
