Benefits Talk at St Joseph’s Church on Thursday 2nd July 2026 at 2pm

If you missed the Benefits Talk in May, there is another chance on 2nd July 2026. The people who came along in May did not expect to be claiming anything but most of them went away to check their entitlements. One person was going to check their eligibility for Attendance Allowance; some people went on to check their National Insurance Contribution Record and request a Forecast of how much their State Pension will be.

Other people were checking their eligibility for Income Tax Allowances including Marriage Allowance. The talk will also cover such areas as Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payments, Pension Credit and Carers Allowance.   Come along on Thursday 2nd July to find out more.

 

There will be a coffee morning after the 10.30am Mass at St. Joseph’s on Wednesday, 17th June
