This will help find an advice agency local to you. https://advicelocal.uk/welfare-benefitsMEMBER02 said:Anyone know of any good independent advice helplines,even if they charge a small fee or subscription,the cab are a bit hit and miss and soo hard to contact.tiaYou do not need to pay anything for benefits advice. Alternatively, if you can give all the information there’s plenty of people here that can advise.1 -
Other charities will help with benefit advice.
Food banks for one but that depends on them having an expert in house.
If you have a certain medical condition (MS, cancer etc) then the related organisation could help.
Also some types of employment have charities that help ex employees - SSAFA for ex military, BWC for those previously in finance etc.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
