Private Advice on Benefits?

Hi Folks.
Is there anyway I can contact a benefits advisor in total privacy on Scope?
I have had two discussions today on Benefits with two different people.
The one person used to "work" at
C A B.
C A B.
So they know their stuff.
The other person's Mother has the same problem as me.
She gets way more P. I. P than me.
Another reason I want it to remain private is also because I need to contact someone who will after I tell them how my disability affects me daily, they may advise on a Social Worker, this was suggested by the
C A B worker.
Sorry for the question to be vague. Regards

You really can’t compare someone else to yourself. PIP is not about a diagnosis. For expert advice start here https://advicelocal.uk/2

Hi @oldngrumpy I'm a little unclear on what you mean by this. Do you mean that you would or wouldn't want to be given the advice that you should contact a social worker?0 -

I would like advice on contacting a S. W.
I don't know how to go about it.

I wonder if this is helpful @oldngrumpy - Please see: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/getting-a-needs-assessment/As you will see, you can refer yourself.

Hey @oldngrumpy
I just wanted to check in to see if you would still like some support from Scope with a social care referral?
I see @chiarieds has provided a link to the self referral page; have you managed to take a look at the page, or would you like us to help you with this?
