Another website which does have some excellent advise for people who are struggling with benefit related issues.

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk.

You will find that there are 2 parts to this website, one which everyone can access and another which is only available to members. FMA UK does have access to the members section and if there are any documents which you would like to read, you can request a copy of the document be sent to you electronically. To do this you will need to contact FMA UK Benefits Helpline
(or email
charity@fmauk.org) with your request.


Also this has been brought to my attention a video found on YouTube.
The video is called "The Video the UK Government want banned".  It deals with work related benefit issues and going to a tribunal to have your case reviewed.
It is very informative

  Welfare Rights Advisor

We would like to remind any members who are experiencing difficulties with the benefits system to make sure that they get advice from a local Welfare Rights Advisor rather than trying to deal with matters themselves.
Welfare Rights Advisers can be found at CAB, Dial and Age UK. 
If you need advice we suggest that prior to attending one of these agncies that you call to make an appointment with a specialist Welfare Rights Advisor.
