Information and Advice

Age UK Cheshire offers a free and confidential information and advice service for older people, their families and carers

Each year up to £3.5bn of Pension Credit and Housing Benefit goes unclaimed by older people. Let us help make it easier. Age UK Cheshire's Information and Advice Telephone Service can offer help on a range of issues, including benefits like Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance, Carers Allowance and Personal Independence Payment. Age UK's Benefits Calculator can help you find out what benefits you could be owed. It's free to use and the details you provide are kept anonymous.

Arranging social care can be a challenge. From knowing where to start, to what type of care and support you need and who pays for it, there are lots of questions to ask. But you're not alone — we're here to help you through the process. We can help you with information on finding and arranging social care, paying for care, housing options, problems with care, and help for carers looking after a loved one.

To find out a bit more about what is happening locally, the 'Live Well' directories provided by the two local councils are really helpful, Live Well Cheshire West and Live Well Cheshire East.

You can also phone our Information and Advice Telephone Service to find out more about the wide range of services we offer here at Age UK Cheshire.
