Free help
All of these are free, staffed by people, and independent of us. If you can wait for an appointment, they are better than any software.
Benefits advice
- Citizens Advice — advice on PIP, mandatory reconsideration and appeals, in person and by phone.
- Scope — disability charity, benefits helpline and an online community.
- Your local council’s welfare rights service — search for your council plus “welfare rights”.

If you are struggling
