Age UK North, South & West Dorset holds regular surgeries where over 50s can come and ask an expert questions about benefits they may be entitled to receive.

Working in partnership with Dorset Council, these benefit advice sessions are one-to- one surgeries, free and by appointment only. Due to covid-19, these surgeries will go ahead but will be by telephone only.
The charity also offers better balance workshops, footcare clinics and a range of lunch and games clubs, outside of lockdown.

Richard Bristow from Age UK North, South & West Dorset said: “We are working in partnership with Dorset Council and can assist older people to access the benefits they are entitled to such as attendance allowance and pension credit “If anyone is not sure about the benefits they may be able to claim, I would encourage them to make an appointment at one of our telephone surgeries. We are also still offering help to complete benefit forms, such as attendance allowance, over the telephone through our welfare benefits team.”

To book a telephone appointment please call Age UK North, South & West Dorset on 01305 269444 or email enquiries@ageuknswd.org.uk.
