I have answered your other thread andyandflo, are you sure your council does not have a Welfare Rights Officer? They are often not well publicised.
Thanks for the answer on my thread. Yes, I have been down to the council and asked. They have a Council Tax Benefit advisor only. They used to have one up until a couple of years ago, but that was lost in the budget cuts!
My County Council has one, but it is limited only to existing customers registered and put forward by Social Services.
Tried Age Concern and the lady there said that the best they could do is help to fill in a DLA/AA claim form. No one knew enough about ESA or appeals.
Tried the local Disability Information office - they could only hand out leaflets.
Looked for a Law Centre but none shown in the county.0 -

Thanks both of you. Yes the nearest large town (10 miles away) does have a college and also a university?????? what are you thinking?
Yes there are, I will check up on that - on the websites. Indeed one is actually the brainchild of one of my consultants.0 -

I don't know where you live but some CAB or similar charity organisation do give advice on the telephone.
Alternatively, have you see this website? http://www.youreable.com/
Just in case you might get help from elsewhere too.
Good luck!Money is not the root of all evil.
It depends on how you obtain it and how you use it.

If you are referring to help from the above website via the forum - it has been closed since before Christmas.0
