Benefits Advice

Alternate Tuesdays 2pm to 5pm

If you need any advice on claiming benefits you can make an appointment with our Benefits Advisor, Barry Pape. The Benefits Advice clinic runs every other Tuesday afternoon.

The Benefits Advisor can assist with all aspects of claiming benefits:

• General advice and information
• Help with the completion of forms
• Deal with specific problems with Department of Work and Pensions or Inland Revenue
• Assist with rejections
• Represent at appeal tribunals
• Generally offer support

Benefits and tax credits advice does provide patients with an opportunity to resolve problems with their benefit and tax credits entitlements or to increase their income through take-up of benefits and tax credits to which they are eligible.

If you would like to make an appointment with the benefits advisor, just ask one of our receptionists. Appointments are normally 30 minutes long. Home visits are possible where the GP or nurse would normally make a home visit.
