Money and benefits advice

If you live in Aberdeenshire our Money Advice and Welfare Rights Team can provide free, impartial and confidential advice. Our team can help you to:

• complete benefit claim forms
• challenge a benefit decision you disagree with
• deal with some low level debts
• recommend other organisations and agencies that can also help you

If you would like to check what benefits you are entitled to, you can use a benefits calculator.

Our advice request form is currently closed, whilst we work through a backlog of cases. We apologise for any inconvenience. 

You can also find information on Tackling Poverty and Inequalities on our Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership website. Here you can find advice and support on money worries, as well as information on how to join the Tackling Poverty and Inequalities Lived Experience Forum. This forum gives low income families the chance to have their voices heard within the council.
