Welfare Reform

Since 2010 the UK Government has been implementing a wide range of amendments to the welfare benefits system.
Their aim is to get Britain working, fight poverty, support the most vulnerable and help people break the cycle of benefit dependency.

These changes are complex and can have a considerable impact on people.

Estuary Housing Association has Welfare Benefits Advisors to support and assist tenants in maximising their income and sustaining their tenancies.

We provide:

• Welfare benefits advice
• Support with appeals against benefit decisions
• Referrals to other organisations when needed.
