Getting Advice About Benefits

Is there a benefit advice line?

If you are looking for advice on benefits, there is no one benefit line. There are Jobcentre Plus contact centers, which there is now one 0800 number for the country, but that's only for working age benefits that are paid by the Department for Work and Pensions. The Pension Service runs a line for benefits for older people, so if you are an older person you could contact the Pension Service. There is an advice line run by the Community Legal Service, called CLS Direct, but you have to be eligible for legal aid help to be able to get full advice from that line. There is the advice guide website that Citizens Advice have, but unfortunately there is no one central benefits line that is right across the board for all claimants. No.
