Citizens Advice said: “We particularly want to reach people who are struggling with the benefits system. They may be new Universal Credit claimants or be dealing with disability benefits for the first time. We will help people to find out what they are entitled to, assist them with making new claims and support them through the appeals process.
“We will look at all aspects of income maximisation, including eligibility for statutory and charitable grants."
We will help people have better control of their money through our budgeting and debt advice and people will be able to access our full range of advice or be referred to other appropriate organisations to suit their needs.
