Social Welfare System
If you are in financial difficulty e.g. awaiting
your payment to be processed you should contact
the Community Welfare Officer at your local
health center for Supplementary Welfare
Allowance.
There are a range of additional payments which
can be made under the Supplementary Welfare
Allowance Scheme e.g. rent or mortgage interest
supplement, exceptional needs payments, urgent
needs payments
Details of these supplementary payments are in
the Guide to Social Welfare Services
