A Disability Solutions West Midlands service
Stoke-on-Trent Welfare Benefits Team
Living with a disability or long-term health condition can bring significant financial challenges. You may need to reduce your working hours, stop work completely, or pay for additional support such as help around the home, increased heating costs, mobility needs, or a specialised diet.
The Stoke-on-Trent Welfare Benefits Team offers a personalised, confidential advice service for disabled people, individuals with long-term health conditions, and their carers across Stoke-on-Trent. Our goal is simple: to ensure you receive the financial support you are entitled to.

Our commitment to honest advice
At Disability Solutions West Midlands, we're committed to supporting people with disabilities by providing clear, accurate, evidence-based and honest advice. At times, this means we may need to share a professional opinion that is disappointing or not in line with a client's hopes regarding their welfare benefit claim, as entitlement to disability benefits does require medical evidence and supporting evidence to help people reach the eligibility threshold as set out by the DWP. Where we consider that a claim or appeal is unlikely to succeed, we will explain our reasons clearly and respectfully, including whether alternative support may be more appropriate. Our aim is to provide honest, professional advice that enables clients to make informed decisions, while recognising that we cannot guarantee a particular outcome.
