Welfare Rights Service

Having to apply for welfare benefits can be a stressful process for anyone, but if you have epilepsy, you may face further barriers and challenges. For that reason, we would always advise anyone with epilepsy to seek professional advice before applying for any type of benefits or undertaking a review of their current award to increase the chances of a successful outcome.

Our Welfare Rights Officers can provide information, support, and assistance on benefits issues such as helping to identify benefits you may be entitled to, completing application/review forms with you, and assisting with appeals, including representation depending on area of residence.

We aim to cover as much of Scotland as we can, but may be limited by practical and resource considerations, as this service is based in our Glasgow office. We may also be able to provide general information on benefits and assistance by telephone.
