Benefit Changes Support (360G-SCVO-a0g0N00001gBKTmQAO)

Funding Organization
£5,000
Recipient Organization

We currently provide help to enable people with disabilities to access welfare benefits, complete applications, help with appeals, and provide information and advice on services and resources. We would like to fund a Benefits Advisor to assist people with disabilities with the introduction of universal credit which is scheduled to commence in Aberdeen City in November, 2018. This application process has to be completed online within one month, and many disabled persons will be unable to undertake this unaided, or do not have access to computer resources. We anticipate that this will have a major impact on people applying for new benefits, causing much anxiety and stress. By allocating an additional advisor to this activity we will help to alleviate financial hardship and improve health and well being. The advice and assistance will be provided to disabled residents of Aberdeen City on a one to one basis and will also include assistance on any related benefit issues. For those with mobility restrictions this may mean arranging a home visit to gather information.
