Advice on benefits, tax credits and grants
The Welfare Rights Service advises Royal Greenwich residents on tax credits and benefits, including Universal Credit.
You can find advice and information on a range of benefits and other forms of financial support on our benefits pages and in our benefits factsheets. You can also use our benefit calculator to check your entitlement to support.
Most tax credit and benefit claims are online, but we have a limited number of paper claim forms. Contact us to request these.
