Blackpool Council Benefits and Financial Support
Many residents, particularly older people, are missing out on valuable benefit payments they are entitled to.
You may be entitled to financial support if you have a disability, are ill, or if you care for someone.
Financial support may also be available if you are unemployed and looking for work, if your earnings are low, if you are bringing up children, or if you are retired.
We can help maximise your income by providing help with claiming benefits.
For more support with benefits and financial support visit the council website.
