There are many benefits of getting older. Many older people have been missing out on some benefits that could improve their standard of living by not claiming money they are entitled to.
If you are on a low income you may be entitled to extra help with:
- Council tax or rent
- State Pensions
- Fuel bills and other costs
- Help with health costs
- Illness and disability benefits
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Attendance Allowance
- If you are a carer
Call 0191 427 7000 to register your details and a trained advisor from Age Concern or Sight Service will contact you for a free assessment. (Calls to South Tyneside Council may be recorded).
(If you indicate that you have difficulties with your eyesight then a specialist advisor from Sight Service will be your first point of contact)
