Q What Benefits can I claim?

A There is a wide variety of Welfare Benefits, all with different rules and regulations. Some depend on you having paid National Insurance contributions, others take account of income and savings and some are based on how your illnesses/disabilities affect your day –to-day life. Before we can tell you what you may be entitled to, we therefore need a lot of information, so we need to speak to you personally. You should ring the DIG office, where an Adviser will take all the relevant details. Please do not come to the office without phoning first, as our staff may be dealing with clients and your Adviser may not be available to see you.
