Wiltshire residents will be offered advice in a way that suits them as the first online welfare information session goes live.
To support residents in the county with the forthcoming changes to
benefits which are the result of the government’s Welfare Reform Act
2012, Wiltshire Council will be offering the opportunity to get advice
and guidance during a live topical question and answer event, to be held
online on 5 March 2013 between 3pm and 7pm
Those affected by the government’s changes to welfare, or those who
wish to find out more will be able to seek guidance and clarification
where possible, from relevant council officers available during this
time. Offering this online question and answer session will allow people
to talk to council officers about changes to benefits in a way which
fits in with them. People will still be able to contact the council with
enquiries Monday to Friday during normal office hours on 0300 456 0100.
This initial session will be focused on answering questions around council tax benefit and underoccupancy.
To take part online people should visit the council’s website, the
Facebook Page ‘Our Wiltshire’, or they can tweet their questions using
the hashtag #WiltsWelfare between 3pm and 7pm on 5 March.
