Our website has been designed to help you find support quickly and easily, based on your particular needs and circumstances.

Our website enables you to find the answers to your questions about UK benefits. No need to pay a subscription or membership fee to get the answer to your problem; just ask our experts FREE OF CHARGE!

Our experts ensure that that your benefits problems are dealt with professionalism and efficiency. There’s no jargon, just accurate, straight forward advice tailored to fit your needs.
You can ask your question on our “ask our question” page or by using the “live chat facility” when available. “Live chat” allows you to have a confidential conversation with a professional advisor.

Unlike similar websites we won't refuse to answer your question "as your circumstances are too complex to be dealt with."

We are unique and receive no funding or support from the Government, any local authority, grant making trust or large companies. This total independence means that our advice is given without any thought to how unpopular it may make us with the Department for Work and Pensions or others such as Atos Healthcare.

Other features of our website include:

  • A free benefits health check that ensures people are receiving all the welfare benefits they are entitled to
  • A free check to see if you could be entitled to Disability Living Allowance (DLA), an increase in your DLA or Attendance Allowance
  • Sample completed claim forms for a range of medical conditions
  • Help with benefit overpayments and Tribunals

Our website has been designed to help you find support quickly and easily, based on your particular needs and circumstances.

Sample claim forms now including ESA forms

We frequently get people saying 'I wish I had found your website before I made my claim!”

Why? Because we know about the commonest mistakes and pitfalls that can cause a claim to fail. Our experts have been working in welfare benefits for over 30 years and have completed thousands of claim forms and attended hundreds of benefit appeal Tribunals.

It always make sense to get guidance on completing a claim form because an accurate and well completed claim pack makes it much harder for a decision maker to refuse your claim.

The good news is that we are sharing our expertise with YOU.

And unlike other websites you don’t have to pay an annual subscription or membership fee before you can get access to the information you need to make your claim. Just choose what you need and pay to download only what you need.

These are ACTUAL claim forms for Employment Support Allowance (ESA), DLA and Attendance Allowance that were submitted to the DWP and resulted in an award of DLA or Attendance Allowance. Of course we have removed all personal details and PLEASE NOTE that each form is intended as a guide only and MUST NOT be used as a template for your claim form. DLA and Attendance Allowance are self assessment benefits and therefore each form must reflect the circumstances of the individual making the claim.
