It is harder to get support with completing forms and applying for benefits now, and many organisations that offer support have limited resources. GMCDP will update this list periodically, so keep checking, and please let us know of any services you know about in your local area.
If you live in a housing association property or other social housing, it may be your housing association give support to apply for benefits to their tenants. It is worth contacting your housing agency directly.
