Introducing Axiom’s welfare advice service for our tenants
Angie
Noble is Axiom’s Welfare Rights Advisor, and her role is to help
our tenants ensure that they are receiving any benefits they are entitled
to – this includes assisting with the claiming process, liaising
with the many benefit departments on their behalf and helping to challenge
decisions regarding benefit entitlement that are felt to be unfair.
However, it is not just about money! Angie can also help and advise
with a variety of issues such as dealing with debt, liaising with Social
Services and helping to obtain assessments for disabled living equipment.
During the last twelve months Axiom has assisted many tenants –
helping them in claiming an extra £315,000 per annum in total
and this is only the tip of the iceberg!
At Axiom, we would urge everybody to have a ‘benefit check’
to ensure that entitlements are being paid, especially if there has
been a change in your circumstances- for example, a new baby, reaching
retirement, moving in with someone or having someone move in with you.
This is quick and simple to arrange – most checks can be completed
over the telephone in the first instance.
If you have a query please contact Angie by telephoning 01733 347135
or email: enquiries@axiomha.org.uk
We are currently looking at ways to enhance the welfare advice
available on our website. If you have any comments or ideas on what
you would like to see included, please complete the feedback form via
the ‘Feedback and Enquiries’ button. This will help us to
ensure that we are meeting your expectations where possible!
