Benefits

Staff in our Connexions Centres will help you apply for some benefits and in some circumstances, Job Seeker's Allowance. If you have special educational needs, your Personal Adviser will help you get more information about what is available. We don’t make decisions about who gets benefits, we just help you apply.

For further information please ask your Personal Adviser or call in at your local Jobcentre Plus or Connexions Centre. You could also try http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/index.htm.
