Benefits and PIP
Benefits and PIP advice
We can help you understand what benefits you may be entitled to and support you with claims, changes of circumstances and appeals.
If you’re unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Our advisers support people facing complex rules, long forms and stressful processes.
Check your benefit entitlement
Use our free benefits calculator to get an estimate of what benefits you may be entitled to.
- Your results are an estimate only.
- If you send your results to us, we will receive a copy.
- If you later attend an appointment, we can go through the results with you.
- Sending your results does not mean an appointment will be arranged.
- We will only keep your information for up to one month.
If the calculator does not open, try another browser or open it directly .
Help completing PIP, Attendance Allowance, DLA or WCA50 forms
We offer pre-booked appointments to help complete these forms, as they can take time and often require detailed support.
- Check the deadline on your form letter
- Appointments for this type of support can be 3 to 8 weeks ahead
- Contact the number on your letter to request an extension
- We cannot guarantee an appointment before your deadline

You may be able to complete your form yourself using the guidance below:
