Money in Mind
Welfare Rights Advice & Employment Support Service

Money in Mind is supported by Calderdale Council and delivered in partnership with Noah's Ark Centre, St. Augustine's Centre and The Gathering Place to give people open access to money and welfare advice alongside emotional support.  Healthy Minds offers advice and support on welfare rights in relation to mental health .

Welfare Rights Service
This is a free and confidential service, offering supportive and non-judgemental help to: 

·       Check what benefits or tax credits you may be entitled to
·       Make sure that you are claiming everything that you should be
·       Help you complete benefit forms (please note that this depends on availability)
·       Advise and represent on social security law, including entitlement, backdates, appeals and overpayments
·       Provide advice about or representation at benefits tribunals
·       Help with other related matters and refer you on to other agencies where appropriate 

This service is usually available Wednesday & Thursay, although a message can be taken at other times. 

Our welfare rights worker will make every effort to answer your enquiry as quickly as possible but there may be some delay in getting back to you during busy periods.
