Adjustments to Help You Access Benefits and Pensions

Adjustments to Help You Access Benefits and Pensions

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) must make adjustments for you if your disability or health condition makes it difficult to:

  • Use the phone
  • Use the internet
  • Read letters
  • Fill in forms
  • Attend face-to-face meetings
  • Understand complicated information to manage your own affairs

To emphasise this message the government has published information on how you can get help if you have difficulties claiming benefits and pensions and pensions because of a disability or long term health condition.

If you require an adjustment and you feel that a DWP service or information is not accessible, you can make a complaint.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
