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.

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.
