Welfare rights
At Keyhouse we know just how difficult it can be to find your way around the benefits system. We also know that getting the right benefits advice can make a huge difference to your income and your overall well-being.
Our advice workers are carefully trained to give clear and sound advice on all areas of benefits including Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Council tax and Housing Benefit. They’ll also help you with questions or problems that crop up at any stage in your contact with the benefits system, from making a new claim or renewing a claim right through to Judicial Reviews and appeals.
Our team can also help you to work out whether your overall income would increase if you started work, and by how much per week. As with all our advice, our LSC Quality Mark means you can always count on its accuracy and independence.
Our advice covers the following typical benefits and issues, but please call us if you have a question on a topic not listed here:
- Housing Benefit and Council Tax
- Social Security overpayments
- Disability Living Allowance
- Attendance Allowance
- Fraud investigations
- Representation at tribunals, upper tribunals and some court work
- Tax Credits
- Sickness benefits, pensions, industrial injury payouts
- Social Fund, maternity benefits and help with NHS costs
Twenty-five years since that first Keighley hostel began catering for the region’s homeless, we’re very proud of the successful multi-discipline organisation we’ve become.
