Rethink Mental Illness : Benefits Guide

Your free benefits guide Benefits rules are confusing at the best of times. But this month, we have been deluged with changes. Bedroom tax, the end of DLA, PIP, Crisis loans, Council Tax Benefit, the list goes on…. We’re hoping that we can help you get the information you need about all these changes. Our advisers have put together a pack explaining all the changes we know about. Follow the link below:- http://liveitwell.org.uk/docs/blogs/blogs_all/benefits_changes_pack_black_and_white.pdf Rest assured, this is not all we’re doing. We are still working on our secret campaign to improve benefits tests, which we will tell you about as soon as we can. And we are working on more information about Universal Credit. We will send that to you once it is ready. I hope this helps you and your loved ones to get the support you need. Best wishes Jane Harris Rethink Mental Illness
