Where do I go for benefits advice?

Hi All,
I am making this enquiry on behalf of my daughter. She has two young boys (8 and 4), they live in rented accommodation and her partner has just been signed off work for 3 weeks due to an injury he sustained at work. His firm will not pay sick pay, so all he is entitled to is about £75 per week statutory. This will mean that they will not have enough money coming in to pay the bills, let alone feed themselves, put petrol in the car, etc. We have no idea what benefits they may be entitled to, or where to go to seek benefits advice.
Can anyone give us some pointers please?
Neil.

Welfare Rights CAB ETC my personal piece of advice is Benefits and Work where a little knowledge goes a long way.
You are in a position where you cannot be too knowledgeable and need accurate information as well as up to date news.#TY[/B] Would be Qaulity MSE Challenge Queen.
Reading whatever books I want to the rescue!:money::beer[/B
