Information and advice
Age UK Merton offers a free and confidential information and advice service for older people, their families and carers.
We offer a comprehensive service providing essential information on a variety of topics including pensions, welfare benefits, health, housing and more.
We can offer advice to enable people to complete forms, write letters, address their issues by telephone, or to generally apply the information that we give them to their situation. We also undertake welfare benefit checks to ensure that people are receiving all the benefits they are entitled to.
If it would help to talk through an issue that is concerning you, or worrying an older person you know, do contact us on 020 8648 5792 to arrange an appointment.
