[cma-l] Re - Pensions advice

[Eddie Stuart]

Apologies - resubmitted with a correct Subject!! :-)

Nick - try speaking to your local DWP

We have a fortnightly slot of 15 minutes where a lady comes along and updates listeners "Benefit from Advice".

Over a year, she covers everything from Pension Changes, Renew your Tax Credits, Changes in Housing Benefit, the Bedroom Tax - you name it.

It is a really good programme straight from the horses mouth.

The lady is herself enthusiastic about doing it which obviously you can't guarantee in every office - but it's worth an approach, given that it reduces their workload if queries and incomplete/late forms are reduced.
