Questions on benefits etc

[Rhyl1]

Hi ICUsteps have a webinar on 9th September at 7 pm with Birchall Blackburn Law. What questions would you like us to ask? We were thinking about things like your rights when threatened with eviction or what benefits you are eligible for? What other burning questions do you have for us to ask? Thanks

hi Christina. I would like to know what our status is if we have come out of ICU and feel, as I do and after 4 months unable to to work. What benefits are available? what are the steps to being assessed? What social security payments might i be eligible for?

thanks, pete

ps is this on the ICU chester meets or separate to that?

It’s separate from ICUsteps Chester, it’s the national ICUsteps webinars. Thanks for the suggestion.

Jobseeker’s Allowance & universal credit are two benefits - don’t believe the hype that you’ll have a lavish lifestyle ( front cover of the daily express) - benefit overhaul under the jubilant direction of IDS pleased the middle classes an election ago - but we may have been hoist by our own petard.

Perhaps they could discuss POA both for finance and health
