Welfare Benefits and Tribunal Service

Notice Description

The primary purpose of this Service will be to support adults with multiple and complex needs who have a disability or long term health condition and their carers with welfare benefits and tribunal representation.

There is also an option to extend the contract by a further 12 month period at the sole discretion of the council.
