The Carers’ Support Service provides support to any Carer from the age of 16 to apply for benefits they may be entitled to.
We provide support to complete forms and submit applications and appeal decisions. If you get to the point of needing to attend a tribunal, we can support you with this too.
This service is only available for those caring for someone who lives in North East Lincolnshire.
We work with our partners at Centre 4 to deliver this support.
This service is accessible by appointment only and you must be registered with the Carers’ Support Service, which is free to do. To register or book an appointment, call 01472 242277.
