Community Care - Welfare Benefits Advice

Carers and the person being cared for can often claim benefits to help them to cover extra costs associated with illness and disability.

Advice and assistance is available from the Welfare Benefits Team.

No drop-in facility available and by appointment only.

For information on benefits, see also:

• Some former UK-wide benefits have been devolved to Scotland.  Some of these have therefore changed their name specific to Scotland.  See the list and type of devolved Scottish benefits via Social Security Scotland
• See the UK Government website for benefits that are not being devolved or have not yet been fully devolved to Scotland
