Giving parents confidence to navigate the system
Parent adviser, Judith Dobson from Contact says:
“We know that parents caring for a child with a disability or additional needs face disproportionately high living costs and a reduced capacity to work. Our recent research found that 86% of families in Wales struggle with the process of claiming benefits. And they face big challenges to do so. From long waits for appointments with advice agencies, to emotionally and time-draining paperwork. For example, many parents tell us they find the process of applying for the main benefit for disabled children, DLA, traumatic. As a result, families may be missing out on this vital, life-changing benefit.
“We hope our new Claiming with Confidence service will help parents in Conwy and Gwynedd feel more confident navigating the benefits system by getting the trusted support and advice they need from people who understand what they’re going through – both emotionally and practically.”
If you’re a parent carer in Conwy or Gwynedd struggling with benefits, don’t wait. Book your free, confidential appointment today and get the support you deserve.
Families can also access online and offline resources developed by the All Wales Forum alongside online and in-person advice and support workshops giving families the chance to hear from other local parents who have been through the system themselves.
