Free Benefit Entitlement Advice in your Own Home

For the past 2 years, Brentwood Citizens Advice Bureau in partnership with Essex County Council and the local Parish Councils, has been holding regular clinics in Brentwood’s Parishes to give advice to residents with particular emphasis on whether they are eligible for, or receiving their full entitlements to Social Security Benefits including entitlement to:-
Attendance Allowance Pension Credit & Council Tax Benefit
We know many people are unaware of their entitlements, that the application forms can be intimidating, and we are anxious to insure that all residents get the financial support they both need and are entitled to. As a measure of the potential need, so far seven clients have been assisted to claim benefits that gave them a combined increase in annual income of £34,000.
If you think you are missing out, and live in the Parish of Blackmore, Doddinghurst, Herongate, Ingatestone, Kelvedon Hatch, Navestock, Mountnessing, Stondon Massey or West Horndon, and are unable to attend your local Parish Clinic, an additional service will be provided for 6 months.

From July 1^st to December 31st, an experienced adviser will be available to visit you in your own home to give advice on your entitlement.

We know there is significant under-claiming of these particular benefits, but we have to rely on you to contact us to find out if you are entitled.
Please help us to help you by giving us a call 01277 220248 to arrange a home visit.
To see an adviser at your local venue you must ring 01277 220248 for an appointment.
