Help to fill in forms correctly
Unfortunately claim forms for things such as Attendance Allowance are not always straightforward to complete. Many people have found that, in order to get the money they are entitled to, it is necessary to have help from someone who is used to filling in these forms.
A number of organisations can provide help with form filling, these include:
Age Concern Oxfordshire
Age Concern Oxfordshire can provide help with form filling, coming to your home if required. Advice is also available on benefits entitlements for those over retirement age.
