Get In Touch

We work hard to respond to all queries as quickly as possible. We prioritise our cases, which means if you have an urgent matter we will help you first. To help us to assess the urgency of your case we need you to tell us what your enquiry is about, and it's important that you tell us if you have a deadline to meet.

We can advise you via email, telephone or in person.

We give 45-minute appointments to meet with an adviser in person.

If you would like an appointment please mention this to us when you contact us. Appointments take place in our confidential advice spaces at Bush House, Guy’s or Waterloo. If you have access requirements please let us know when you book your appointment. We will assess your appointment form and determine whether you may need an urgent appointment or you may need an appointment that is longer than 45 minutes. We have appointments available throughout the week, Monday - Friday, usually within the hours of 10 am - 4 pm, but we may be able to make an appointment outside of these hours if it is needed.

The advice caseworker was absolutely amazing! She made me feel so comfortable. She honestly gave me hope and great support during my appeal. She was compassionate, understanding, committed, professional and informative. I am extremely grateful.
