Many older people in Scotland aren’t claiming the benefits that they are entitled to, despite the fact that the additional income could make a big difference to their daily lives.

Heather Pentler, Benefits Trainer at Age Scotland will be delivering this exciting workshop.

This workshop will aim to raise awareness of :

• The financial support that is available to older people
• Advice about how and when to apply, and what to do if you are unhappy with a benefit decision
• The common benefits that support older people, including Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction
• The main rules, how to make a claim and what to do if something goes wrong.

This free workshop will be 1hr and 30mins session online on Zoom and links will be sent out a day before the event.

The Financial Capability Programme also offers one to one support to help you on your journey to achieve your financial goals
