Members' advice service: DA working for you

The Disability Alliance advice service for member organisations is now available on an expanded Monday to Friday basis.
The service is aimed at helping our members answer complex queries.

The main focus is on tax credits and benefit matters, but the advice service also provides generalist advice covering all the areas of the Disability Rights Handbook.
Hosting the service is Ken Butler. Ken’s background in the advice sector spans over two decades, mostly in the area of welfare rights. He has substantial casework experience at all levels including tribunal representation.

The advice service is funded by HMRC and aims to -

• enable organisations to develop their workforce skills; and
• provide a guide through the tax credits and benefits maze;

Our members’ advice service is available on 0207 247 9342 Monday to Friday between 10.00am to 12.00 noon and 2.00pm to 4.00pm or by emailing kbutler@disabilityalliance.org at any time.

While we cannot afford to run a telephone advice service to individuals at present we aim to provide information about benefits thorough our publications, factsheets and our website. Our guide to Finding a Local Advice Centre is available at www.disabilityalliance.org/f15.htm
