Why attend this course?
If you work with people with learning disabilities, it’s all you need to know – in one place!
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 & mobility: 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.
