If anyone reading this has a concern / question please get proper advice (eg Citizens Advice) sooner rather than later www.adviceguide.org.uk: (lots of information but two in particular) for debts see ur1.ca/nm1w for tax-free benefits ur1.ca/nm24 Consumer Advice Energy Debts ur1.ca/whu6 Priority Service Register ur1.ca/obs4 General money: www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk Reduced telephone line rental ur1.ca/p6oj General benefit checker: can be helpful but the devil is in the details www.entitledto.co.uk DirectGov ur1.ca/vocv Entitlement to statepensions: ur1.ca/o7qi Wrong time of year but www.warmfront.co.uk
Thanks Henry, in times like these where things seem to be tight, it's always handy to know who to speak to and handy to know what you're entitled to.
