Benefits

It can be difficult to know what benefits you are entitled to, how to claim, and what to do if there are problems with your benefits, or if they stop. Contact Dalkeith CAB if you are looking for information on benefits, or need assistance related to your benefit claim.

Understanding Benefits

There are a wide range of people who may be entitled to benefits. Some of those who may be eligible include:

• People in employment 
• People who are unemployed
• Those experiencing ill-health
• Disabled people
• Carers
• Young people
• Older people
• Parents
• Armed forces members and veterans
• People on a low income

The CAB will ask a few questions about you and your situation then explain the types of benefits or other support you could receive. Some examples include Universal Credit, tax credits, reductions of council tax, help with housing costs and national insurance, assistance with home energy supply, and other forms of financial support. If required, the CAB can help with completing necessary forms or assist if you are having problems receiving benefits or other entitlements.
