Due to the current welfare change plans in the UK the folowing advice website may be of use for people in the UK currently or shortly to go onto some type of state welfare (unemployment or sickness benefit). I've found it useful in the past and the service provides numerous tips and fine point details on, for instance, such topics as (judicious) form filling when making a claim and how to get the best results of any medical assessments and interviews that you me be requested to attend. Lots of other free advice and news provided ( paid membership also available for more in depth info).
