Why attend this course?

All you need to know - in one place - if you work with learning disabilities!

This course covers the following:

  • The main adult benefits being claimed – or could be claimed (including what happens at the ‘transition’ point of the age of sixteen);
  • It outlines the benefit for personal care: PIP and the benefits relating to capacity for work – ESA and Universal Credit, plus the other benefits in between, such as Income Support, Housing Benefit;
  • We explain why there are so many different benefits for apparently similar claimants – a feature of working with learning disability;
  • The course also covers the benefits claimed by carers ;
  • We reveal ‘hidden’ benefits that both your clients and their carers could be claiming, such as disability reductions and discounts;
  • The course also outlines the position when going into Residential School, or into hospital/Care Home.

An excellent introduction for those new to the field - or as a refresher: your client’s circumstances may not be changing but the benefit system is!

With this course you get :
a comprehensive training pack; training provided by an experienced practitioner; an opportunity to network with similar frontline workers; the chance to get an answer to that burning question; follow-up queries answered by email, and chocolate biscuits.
