PIP is among the most important of all benefits as a successful claim can mean a massive increase in income and protection from the benefits cap. Our training course on 23rd May will help you to make more successful claims bit.ly/2VtLJw6
Benefits Aware will be running a training course in Birmingham on 8th May about migration to UC. The course will identify situations where people need to move on to UC and also those where there are other options and will help to stop mistakes happening bit.ly/2Iyda6Z
We have lots of benefit training courses coming up in Birmingham and Coventry from May to July. These courses will provide you with lots of ideas of how to get good results for your clients from the benefits system bit.ly/2Iyda6Z
Sadly this happens all too often
Stephen said in February that he didn't know where to turn as his health deteriorated. “I could only make it to the kitchen to make food once a day ... but they were telling me I was fit for work” theguardian.com/society/2019/a…
This important guidance should now open the way to allow advisors to discuss cases with DWP more easily.
"The DWP appears to be taking an unduly restrictive view of the definition of consent under data protection in relation to consent for authorised representatives to act on behalf of #universalcredit customers", says Information Commissioner's Office rightsnet.org.uk/forums/viewthr…
Do you know what action you can take if your client has been sanctioned.?Only 5% of people challenge their sanctions but almost 100% can expect to win if they do. We need to change this. This training course will help you to know what to do bit.ly/2Iyda6Z
Citizens Advice are launching their new Here to Help service today. This service replaces the assistance available from local authorities and will help people through the claims process until first payment. citizensadvice.org.uk/helptoclaim/
Do you know what options you have to increase the income of people who are on Universal Credit? Our new half day course in Birmingham on 2nd April covers increasing income and reducing deductions. bit.ly/2Iyda6Z Few places left. #UCTraining
DWP document refers to benefit claimant as 'lying bitch' theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
This shocking comment tells us all we need to know about how DWP think about claimants and why claimants report that their mental health as well as their wallets are adversely affected by the process of claiming disability benefits.
This really does beggar belief. Is this really what @DWP think about benefit claimants?
We will be working closely with ssac to provide details of our service users affected by the claimant commitment - please take part!
*SSAC CONSULTATION ON SOCIAL SECURITY & SEPARATED PARENTS* We are trying to better understand how living standards of separated parents are affected by the benefit system. Do you have and relevant insight or evidence? Take a look at our call for evidence: gov.uk/government/con…
Are you having problems with Universal Credit claimants getting into rent arrears? Our course on Universal Credit and housing costs will give you ideas of ways you could help bit.ly/2TCawCf #UCTraining
We know of many claimants who have been misadvised by the DWP and have lost significant amounts of benefit erroneously- it remains to be seen how much compensation may be payable
DWP to pay compensation to wrongly advised claimants? nawra.org.uk/index.php/dwp-…
Do you know how to protect people from being migrated on to Universal Credit and having their benefits cut? Our course on 19th March will help you to do this. bit.ly/2XFTBwQ #UCTraining
Our first half day training course on migration on to Universal Credit runs on 19th March. We are aware that many people are being incorrectly moved on to UC and then losing out. This course will clarify the rules. Booking information here bit.ly/2XFTBwQ #UCTraining

This is why we need good quality welfare rights advice and support for vulnerable claimants
Family whose daughter died after being denied personal independence payment have been awarded £10,000 in damages against Capita bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en…
That’s about £105 every week that each of those households didn’t have over 2 years. How often did they go cold or hungry unnecessarily? These figures are not unusual. We win over 80% of benefits appeals. This system is broken.
