Welfare benefits

Our Welfare Benefits team can provide help and advice on different welfare benefits and grants.

We can carry out welfare benefit checks to see if there is any additional help you may be unaware you are entitled to, provide assistance in completing forms and give advice and guidance on what to do if you think your decision is wrong.

During an appointment, an adviser will discuss with you various types of benefits in relation to your personal circumstances. We will then assess whether or not you are receiving the benefits to which you are entitled and help you to apply for any you are not yet receiving.

We may also be able to inform you of other schemes such as insulation grants, community or hospital transport, Furnicare and the Handyman scheme.

The Welfare Benefits team are based our council offices in Petters Way, Yeovil, and at the following surgeries:

Crewkerne Town Hall - all day every Wednesday       

Wincanton Council Offices

We would recommend that appointments are made in advance although if we are more than happy to see you if we are available. Where appropriate, we can also arrange to visit clients in their homes.
