Where can I get benefits advice?

Occupational therapists and rehabilitation co-ordinators working for the OT Service will be able to give some general advice about the benefits which are available to service users. If more detailed advice is required they will be able to direct you to a more appropriate person. This may be the benefits agency, a specialist advisor within Social Services or some other organisation. Generally if a service user has any queries regarding benefits they should approach the benefits agency directly rather than waiting for an OT or rehab to visit.
