Benefits advice toolkit

Benefits-toolkitThousands of people are missing out on benefits they may be entitled to – are you?

This website gives very general guidance about the benefits that are available. In our toolkit (documents are provided below) you will also find an information pack called the Benefit check book which provides general guidance about the benefits that are available and should only be used as a check list for potential entitlements to benefits. It is not intended to be fully comprehensive and in most cases more information will be necessary.

The Benefits Check Book

The Benefits check book is available as a hardback copy. If you would like a free hard copy please use the telephone number at the bottom of this page to contact us.
