St Barnabas Welfare & Benefits Advice

The St Barnabas Welfare and Benefits Team provides free, confidential welfare and benefits advice to people across Lincolnshire living with palliative or life-limiting conditions, including COPD, Parkinson’s disease, Dementia, Motor Neurone Disease (MND), heart failure, frailty and other non-cancer conditions, as well as people living with cancer where treatment is continuing but is not expected to cure the illness.

Our experienced team can help people understand what financial support they may be entitled to and assist with applications for benefits such as Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Universal Credit and Pension Credit, as well as Blue Badge applications, grants, supermarket vouchers and support with energy, water and other household costs.
We can also support spouses, partners and carers with their own benefit applications and provide advice following bereavement.

Our aim is to maximise household income, reduce financial worry and make sure people receive the support they are entitled to, helping older people and their families have greater financial security at a difficult time.

To make a referral or find out more, please contact the St Barnabas Welfare and Benefits Team on 01476 513544.
We aim to contact people within five working days of receiving a referral.
