This event is in the past
This is essential training if you are starting out as a welfare rights adviser or need a good understanding of the benefits system. It introduces you to the social security system and important concepts to help you maximise benefit entitlement. You will gain a detailed knowledge of the core benefits and assessments involved in welfare rights advice – universal credit, the assessment of limited capability for work and the assessment of adult disability payment which replaces personal independence payment in Scotland. You will learn how to maximise entitlement and deal with problems. Course takes place across 6 mornings: 17-19 Jan and 24-26 Jan 2023.
