Liverpool City Council - Benefits Maximisation


 

Benefits Maximisation Service

Every year, millions of pounds in benefits go unclaimed because people do not know what they are entitled to, or do not feel able to make a claim without help.

To help all Liverpool residents claim their full entitlements, the Benefits Maximisation Service offers a team of specialist advisers.  They can provide advice, guidance and assistance with the full range of welfare benefits, including benefits for:

  • People on low income
  • People with an illness or a disability
  • Carers
  • People with children
  • People in work
  • People thinking of going back to work
  • Older people
  • Young people and care leavers           

What can we do?

The Benefits Maximisation Service can offer:

  • A detailed benefit check to see whether you are entitled to any additional benefits, and whether any existing benefits are being paid at the correct rate
  • Help you to make a claim for any new or increased benefits - including backdating claims
  • Help you challenge decisions to stop benefits - including help with overpayments
  • Represent you at appeal tribunals
  • Where we cannot help you we will refer you to an appropriate local specialist agency or department
