Factsheets and information sheets:

Our information service is based on a series of comprehensive factsheets covering the key areas of income and benefits, consumer, health, community care, housing, leisure / learning and work. These sheets are designed to provide practical information for older people who wish to help themselves, and a definitive guide for those whose work helps older people. They are available free of charge and all are regularly updated.We also have a wide range of specialist information sheets on such topics as retiring abroad, making a living will, and instructions for your next of kin forms. These specialist information sheets are also available free of charge to anyone who requests them.
