Welfare benefits 

The welfare benefits system is complex and most people need some help to find their way around it. At Moat, we offer specialist welfare benefits advice to provide information on the benefits to which you may be entitled to, and help you to make a claim. These benefits range from housing benefit to income support to disability living allowance.

Our advice is free, confidential and non-judgemental.

In this section, we aim to provide you with self-help information and access to our email advice service with our own in-house expert welfare benefit advisors.

We will provide you with the following:

• Housing benefit – everything you need to know about what it is and how to claim
• Self help guide to dealing with debt
• Personal budget – how to use a personal budget form and calculate your monthly disposable income
• Useful contacts
• Email advice service
• Welfare leaflets

Your home is at risk if you do not keep up rent and mortgage repayments or payments on other loans secured on it.

Please note the value of properties can go down as well as up.
