Disability Advice and Information Service

We support disabled people experiencing the impact of the rise in day-to-day costs through our Cost-of-Living Support Service. Through this project, we offer welfare benefits advice and support, and deliver information workshops to help improve disabled people’s financial wellbeing and stability. Our Disability Information Officers:

• Help disabled people to understand and access their rights and welfare benefit entitlements.

• Undertake full benefit checks to assess an individual’s eligibility, provide full support with completing benefit applications and any follow-up support an individual requires.

• Provide support with benefit reviews and reconsiderations.

• Support disabled people to maximise their household income as much as possible.

• Provide information resources about benefits and other disability-related topics.
