[cma-l] Re - Pensions advice

[Canalside's The Thread]

Cheers Eddie

Yes, we have folk like this (not on a regular basis)(more adhoc, but plenty
of em)    this is 'slightly different though to what I was asking. I was
basically asking about the Government stuff      ie:- the stuff you get a
little tickle £££ for   

It's the classic question that comes from our Dave at Oldham Radio    ''yes
but, how much are we getting paid for it ?''

Dave will explain, I'm sure. I would imagine he will be at Luton

Regards

Nick

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.

Eddie
