With an estimated £2 billion of unclaimed benefits in Wales, a renewed effort is underway to make sure people get the financial support they’re entitled to and maximise their household incomes.
With a £36 million investment from the Welsh Government, free and confidential advice is available to guide people through the claims process through the Single Advice Fund income maximisation services.
This is backed by the Welsh Government’s Claim What’s Yours national benefit take-up campaign which is currently running. Whether it’s applying for Personal Independence Payment, Carer’s Allowance, or Pension Credit, help is available through the Advicelink Cymru Claim What’s Yours helpline for anyone needing assistance with their financial entitlements.
Since its launch in 2020, the Single Advice Fund services helped people across Wales secure £160 million in additional income and wiping out £43.6 million in debts. Last year alone, the Claim What’s Yours helpline, which is funded by the Welsh Government and run by local Citizens Advice services, helped 36,800 people resolve over 120,000 financial, housing, and employment issues.
Advicelink Cymru Claim What’s Yours advisors are ready to help you check your eligibility for extra income and guide you through the claiming process. For free advice, call 0800 702 2020.
