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?
Billions of pounds of state benefits go unclaimed by older people each year in the UK.
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
Many older people are missing out on money that is rightfully theirs. Even if you own your home, have savings, or are claiming benefits, you may still qualify for additional financial support and entitlements.
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.
Last year we secured over £1.5million of unclaimed benefits payments for older Powys residents!
Benefits advice is a much-needed service to help prevent older people in Powys living in poverty. We rely on grants, donations and legacies to enable us to keep this service running. Please help us to keep this service free of charge by donating.
