Thousands of people across the UK are not claiming the benefits they are entitled to, and P站色情片 and Bute is no exception. However, the council鈥檚 Welfare Rights Team is working hard to raise awareness of what benefits people could be eligible for and, during the first two quarters of 2023/24, 拢2,176,034 worth of claims had already been made.
Council Leader, Councillor Robin Currie said: 鈥淥ur Welfare Rights Team does an outstanding job helping people in our communities and, on behalf of those they have given advice to, I would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication.
鈥淭here are still lots of people not claiming the financial support they are entitled to, however, and that鈥檚 not acceptable. I would urge you to get in touch with our team if you are unsure about whether or not you, or a family member, could be eligible for help.鈥
