Your Welfare Rights
Our Welfare Rights Service aims to guide visually impaired people through the benefits maze, to ensure that you receive everything to which you are entitled. During 2008/2009 we helped people to receive over two million pounds of benefit.
Our highly experienced team of advisers can advise you on all issues relating to social security benefits and other entitlements, together with advice, tips and hints about filling in forms and disputing decisions. We also have information about local services that may be able to complete forms on your behalf and go with you to appeals.
Our Welfare Rights factsheets have been updated for 2009 and are now live.
