Every Pound Counts
Every Pound Counts is a benefit advice service for Lambeth residents who have a serious long term health condition or disability and may find it difficult to use mainstream advice services.
The service:
- gives advice about benefit entitlements and how to access them
- offers specialist casework support and representation
- does not usually offer form filling but will identify another service who can assist
The service can provide advice to professionals and agencies working with vulnerable Lambeth Residents as well as to residents themselves.
