Hello and Welcome to Benefits Advice UK.
We are a close-knit community of lived-experience claimants, DWP employees & (Ex-) Council staff who are taking up our free time to offer informal support/advice around DWP & council benefits.
Please read our rules thoroughly, search before making a post and check out our Wiki below for helpful information.
If we can't answer a question because it's too complicated, we'll signpost you to the Citizens' Advice &/or Welfare Rights service.
