Welfare Benefits

If you are unsure about your entitlement to benefits, at Merton & Lambeth Citizens Advice Bureaux, we can advise you. We can help with unemployment benefits and income support, housing benefits, the social fund, tax credits, disability benefit and incapacity benefit and jobseekers' allowance.

We also have information on the current social security benefits rates.

We can give practical help by helping you to work out your entitlement to benefits, help you fill in the appropriate forms, write review and appeal letters.

For further information visit the benefits section of CAB Adviceguide website.

We press for improvements in social security law by using our knowledge of how people are affected by the current rules.
