Benefits Advisory Group – offering support to patients in accessing their welfare and benefits. 

The Benefits Advisory Group is a 6-12 months’ pilot project which has been introduced to help ensure our patients have access to the welfare and benefits that they are entitled to. Some of the positive impacts that the service has made includes:

Improvements in housing conditions

Improvement to access to employment rights

Stopping/postponing eviction

Confirming housing rights

Supporting patients in accessing social support (e.g. adult social care, occupational therapy, homelessness assistance)
