why do Talking Therapies ask what benefits your on? I don’t understand what the relevance is.

    I can't say I've ever been asked @LazyLump but I guess they could be seeing if you're classed as disabled or not?

    They could also be asking for funding purposes, like I know some schemes need to ask if your on benefits so they can get the correct funding.

    I have been asked twice now from two different therapists. I’ve used theses sort of services in the past and never been asked before so it’s definitely a new thing.
