Benefits And Debt Advice
Prospect has an in-house Welfare Rights Officer, who can provide tenants with advice and information on a number of benefit or debt worries. We aim to help as many tenants as possible by offering a free and confidential service.
Welfare Rights Service
The Welfare Rights Officer can make sure you are getting all the benefits that you are entitled to and can also help you appeal if you are unhappy with a benefit or tax credit decision. Our WRO can explain your options if you have debts that you are struggling to manage or bills that you don’t understand. In some cases we can help you apply for grants to help with debts or living expenses.
We can arrange a meeting at our office or if you prefer in your home. Or you can have a phone appointment. Our WRO also runs weekly outreach surgeries every Wednesday morning at Clovenstone Community Centre from 11.00AM- 1.00PM. Appointments must be booked in advance.
