Benefits Advice Project

   What's the service about?

The Benefits Advice Service is a free service for people receiving or applying for disability benefits in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. This project is funded by Richmond upon Thames Council and enables us to assist people with form filling, benefit reviews and ensuring they receive all the benefits they are entitled to. We can meet people face to face or arrange for telephone consultations.

 Our two advisors, Jo-Anne and Sharmi, are offering not only accurate and honest advice but also:

• Checks on eligibility and entitlement
• Information on how to apply
• Assistance with filling in all benefits forms
• Details and information on how to challenge a decision
• A sympathetic and listening ear

Our advisors have received extensive training and are mainly working from the Disability Action and Advice Centre in Teddington on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We also offer the service from other locations in the borough through outreach.

  If you would like to make an appointment, or arrange a chat by telephone, then please give Richmond AID a call on
  020 8831 6080 or 020 8831 6070.
