Benefits Help
Although we will do what we can to help over the telephone, it is often more appropriate for you to get a LOCAL help centre to assist you in filling in the forms when claiming for Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance etc.
We can give general hints and tips on how to claim these, and other benefits but nothing beats having someone sit beside you while you fill one of these forms in.
The following are the Head Offices of a number of Organisation who should be able to help and if you call them they should be able to give you a local branch to where you live.

This Organisation produces a variety of publications on specifically how to claim a benefit. It is worthwhile buying a copy of the one relating to the benefit you are trying to claim as these show the language and format needed for a successful claim. ALWAYS be prepared to APPEAL or even the next stage TRIBUNAL. At each of these stages get a copy of what basis you were turned down on in the first place.
