Money advice and support

Welfare support team

The welfare support team aims to help you get the money you are entitled to so you can pay your bills, heat your home and improve your quality of life.

What we can do

We can:

  • advise you about all the benefits and other entitlements that are available
  • undertake benefit checks to ensure you are not missing out on any benefits
  • provide assistance to help you complete the relevant forms
  • help you with advice and support if your application for benefit is turned down or you do not receive the amount you were expecting

Financial advice and support is available if you’re struggling, follow the steps in our worrying about money guide to find out where to get help in the Highlands.

You can use our ‘Better Off Calculator’ and ‘Apply Once’ form to check what benefits you can claim, how changes in your life may affect them, and to apply.
