Welfare Benefits

Benefits can make a difference to your life. Make sure you aren’t missing out.

It would be very easy to miss out on benefits to which you are both entitled and need, either because you are unaware or the application process is too complicated and overwhelming. It may also be the case that your application has been unfairly treated, and you need to appeal.

We can give you clear information about your entitlement to benefits and then help you to apply for them. We can assist with filling in the forms, which are often complex and the answers far from obvious. Where it is necessary, we can also support you in appealing against a decision limiting or removing your benefits.

An unbiased approach and a helping hand.

Paperweight’s hallmark is one of proactive involvement. We will hold your hand and work through everything together until you are on a more stable footing. But we will ask you to help us help yourself with necessary history and accurate information.
