Welfare benefits
Advice and guidance on changes to your benefits, and your rights to dispute a decision
There may be circumstances when your benefit entitlement changes or stops. This could be due to a new benefit decision, a change in law, because your circumstances have changed, or an official error.
The RCN's Welfare Service is here to help you understand decisions about your benefits, and offer advice if you need to challenge them.
