How can we help?
If you need advice on a benefit issue, we can:
•Give you information on what benefits you might be entitled to and how to claim them.
•Check that you are getting the right amount of benefit.
•Advise you on what will happen if your circumstances change.
Acting on your behalf
If you've recently had a benefit claim turned down and are appealing against this, we can act on your behalf and provide representation.

Username_removed said:Durham WRS are excellent but, like all services, decisions get made on where resources are best used. It looks like CitA do form filling and MRs whilst the WRS do appeals. So, at this stage 2 choices:
1 - do your own UC50.
2 - back to CitA and push for something better.
You seem articulate enough to do your own. Lots of people think WR advisers have access to some magical legal language or knowledge that will enable them to better complete forms. That’s simply untrue. A UC50 is much the same as an ESA50. View each question as including the words “repeatedly and in a work context” and provide one or two real world examples of incidents which have occurred related to each descriptor and away you go.
