Complicated forms are so difficult when you are struggling health-wise. You take away all the stress. We would not know what to do without you.

Thank all of you for your help, support, and understanding in winning both my cases for DLA and ESA. What would we have done without you!

Just to say a big "thank you" to you all for helping me get my ESA. Its a big weight off my mind to have the massive help and expertise from you. You're the 4th emergency service! Thank you once again.

Mr Smith, review:
I applied for attendance allowance, but my initial request was turned down with minimal explanation. Frustrated, I reached out to Benefit Answers who promptly took up my case, and the results have left me astounded.
Within weeks of Benefit Answers resubmitting my application, I received a phone call from a DWP officer. He explained that if he had reviewed my original request, he might have awarded me a lower amount. However, after reading the new claim submitted by Benefit Answers, he decided to grant me the full amount for both day and night attendance, with backdating.
I am immensely grateful to Benefit Answers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. A simple ‘thank you’ hardly seems sufficient, but THANK YOU.
Sadia, review:
Throughout my PIP and UC support, I was supported by Joanne. She kept me updated about my claims and was helpful whenever I need any support at any time. I don’t think my claims would have been successful without her listening to and doing all the work for me.
