How you can help
Contact Us

Some of the issues we help with are:

• Welfare Benefits such as
  • Attendance Allowance,
  • Disability Living Allowance,
  • Carers Allowance and
  • Pension Credit
    
    
• Together with working age benefits such as
  • Employment and Support Allowance which has replaced Incapacity Benefit.
    
    
• Housing options
  
  
• Availability of grants and loans from the local authority, DWP or other agencies
  
  
• Help with the completion of local authority application forms such as
  • Occupational Therapy self assessments, and
  • The Blue Badge scheme
    
    
• Finding help at home
  
  
• Consumer issues

We have been successful in achieving close to half a million pounds in recent months for our residents of the Wigan Borough which otherwise would have been unclaimed benefit!

We have access to all of the Age UK fact sheets, which cover most of the situations encountered in everyday life. These are free of charge and available on request.

We offer practical assistance such as completing forms and writing letters.

We also offer a home visiting service to those who would have difficulty getting to our offices.

All enquiries are dealt with confidentially and impartially. We will not pass individual details onto third parties without the prior permission of the service user.

This service is available in both our Wigan and Leigh offices. An appointment is necessary for completion of a benefit claim or other application forms but general telephone advice is available most days of the week.
