SPRING 2015 emphasis 44
his is the first time the charity has produced a bespoke guide to benefits for people with PH, their families and carers. ‘Signposting for Potential Benefits’ has been written by the charity’s benefits advisor Shaun Clayton. The free booklet looks at several aspects of the welfare support system such as the Personal Independence Payment (PIP); Employment and Support Allowance and Carer’s Allowance. It offers practical tips and advice based on research and the experiences of other PHA UK members. Shaun said: “The booklet was put together in response to the many calls we take at the office asking for advice and support with applications for benefits. “We hope it will give people a little extra help to understand the system and claim what is due to them. We’d welcome feedback from members and, if the booklet proves useful, we plan to update it and reproduce it in future too.”
