Benefit checks

Free benefit checks

Are you over 65? Do you know what benefits to claim and how to claim them? Worried that you can't afford to retire?

Each year up to £3.5bn of Pension Credit and Housing Benefit goes unclaimed by older people in Britain.

We know that the benefits system can be complicated and difficult to understand. Our Information & Advice team is here to help.

We offer a free, confidential benefit check for people aged 65 and over to make sure that you are receiving all of the benefits you are entitled to. We also provide assistance with completing welfare benefit forms.

Examples of forms we can help with:

• Attendance Allowance
• Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• Pension Credit
• Council Tax Reduction
• Blue Badge Disabled Parking Form

Some benefits, like the Winter Fuel Payment, are entirely dependent on age - and not at all related to income.

You could discover you may be eligible for Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support. So, even if you think you're getting everything you are entitled to - it doesn't hurt to check.

Call us on 01686 623707 or email enquiries@acpowys.org.uk to book your free benefit check.
