Sandra's Story

Help with benefits after being made redundant.

Benefits help

The issue

After being made redundant from a multinational company, 60-year-old Sandra was left with a severe medical condition that meant she could no longer work.

Having never claimed benefits before, she was given no guidance and assumed she wasn’t entitled to any financial help. Following a referral from her GP, our team stepped in to help Sandra navigate the system.

Real story

The outcome

We successfully secured Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and the enhanced rate of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), totaling over £320 a week. This vital support will secure more than £117,000 for Sandra over the next seven years until she reaches state pension age, lifting a massive financial burden from both her and her husband.
