Xmas can be expensive. Are you entitled to benefits that you haven’t claimed for?
Advising Torbay have received funding from national charity Independent Age to run a three -year project providing benefits advice and support to Torbay residents aged 65 and over. Independent Age have identified Torbay as a key demographic - a high percentage of older residents, with many not claiming the benefits to which they're entitled. They offer a free comprehensive service, from identifying entitlement through to help applying for benefits right up to challenging decisions and appeals. They see people at The Windmill Centre in Torquay and are securing venues in Paignton and Brixham. They can also offer home visits in exceptional circumstances. People can access the service by calling 01803 314876, emailing [email protected] or visiting www.advisingtorbay.org and making an online referral.
