Financial help and osteoporosis│#BoneMatters

[ROSModerator]

In this #BoneMatters session we’ve teamed up with the benefits experts at T2Us. David Samson discusses the financial help available for people living with osteoporosis. We know many of you will be worried about the rising cost of living, especially over the winter months and this session explores how welfare benefits can support.

In this session we’ll explain

• How the benefits system can support people affected by osteoporosis, based on common scenarios

• Means-tested benefits that can be claimed by people on low income

• A demonstration of the Turn2Us benefit calculator which is a free online tool that anyone can use to help find out what they could be entitled to

The Turn2us helpline is free, confidential, and independent. They give support and information to people who don't have access to the internet or find it hard going online.
