How we can help
The trust is working with Birmingham City Council Benefit Advice Team to make it easier for service users and carers to get all your benefits paid.
Since 1994 their welfare rights experts have been helping people to claim and now you can access the service through your care coordinator/CPN/Nurse or member of your team.
They can make a referral /help you make a referral to the benefits team for you to be seen at a centre or clinic or they can come and visit you at home.
At the meeting they will:
-
Check to see if you are missing out
-
Help you fill in the forms or phone up for you
