Benefits and Grants

Are you and the person you care for claiming everything you're are entitled to or are your circumstances going to change?  

Our team can complete a benefit check to see whether you may be entitled to additional support.

This check only takes around 20 minutes and it will let you know what you may be eligible to apply for.

Benefits for carers and the people they look after can be complicated, our advisors can support you to claim the benefits you are entitled to.

Completing a benefit application form can be very daunting.

Our team can support you to complete applications for benefits such as Attendance Allowance, Carers Allowance, Pension Credit and more.

Please note that we are currently unable to support with PIP or DLA forms, but can give you advice to help you complete the forms yourself and signpost to other services that may be able to support.

We are able to access the Governments Household Support Fund on behalf of unpaid carers.

These grants are means tested and can help with the cost of:

• Food
• Energy
• Essential white goods eg Fridge/Freezer/Washing machine/Oven
• Beds

Please contact our team to discuss your needs.

We are able to access other grants through our partner agencies.
