Problems With Benefits?
CARBS Help With…3) Benefits
Benefits can be confusing. We can help you get the support you need.
It’s important you get all the help you’re entitled to. But everyone’s situation is different. Our trained advisers guide you on the benefits you’re eligible for and help you apply.
We can help whether you’re working or unemployed, sick or disabled, young or old, a parent, forces veteran or coming from abroad. We also specialise in sorting out problems with benefits but also advise on council tax, housing, national insurance and much more.
On a low income?
You may be eligible for help with living costs, rent, council tax, prescriptions or school meals. For emergency expenses, there may be payments from a local assistance scheme.
Sick or disabled?
For help with care or getting around, you may be eligible for Personal Independence Payment (aged 16-64) or Disability Living Allowance (under 16). Attendance Allowance can help with care needs if you’re 65 or over. If you can’t work, there is Employment and Support Allowance. If you care for someone who is disabled, you may get Carer’s Allowance.
Parent?
Child Benefit is a monthly payment that can help you with the costs of your children. You can claim if you’re ‘responsible for the child’ and the child is under 16, or 16-20 and still in education or training.
Older person?
With many benefits, the rules change when you get older. We can help with state pension queries and other benefits such as travel concessions, Winter Fuel Payments and Pension Credits for those on a low income.
