Many local people are not claiming benefits they are entitled to. Dacorum Borough Council are concerned that there are residents who are in need and may not be aware that they can claim Attendance Allowance (over 65), Income Support, Disability Living Allowance (under 65), Family Credit, Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit. If you think you, a relative or a neighbour may be entitled to claim, contact Jenny Shieldhouse, Dacorums Benefits Promotions Officer on 01442 228395 for advice. If you need further help, a Benefit Adviser can help you fill in a claim form, either at the nearest Council Office or, if you have difficulty getting there, will visit you at home. Benefits are not charity, nor are they a lottery – if you are eligible you have a right to claim (or appeal if you think your claim has been unfairly refused). To find out more phone free on 0800 0528091 and leave your name and address so that you can be contacted. Its your money. Why not claim it?
