Age Connects delivers a Welfare Benefits Service to residents of Cardiff, with funding in place from 1st July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The charity also delivers a Welfare Benefits Service to residents of the Vale of Glamorgan, funded by the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

The services support older people aged 60+ to maximise their income through benefit entitlement. Our Welfare Rights Adviser offers face-to-face and telephone support to assist with benefit applications and general enquiries. Often, eligibility for one benefit can unlock access to several others.

A benefit check could help. We can assist with applications for:

• Attendance Allowance & Upgrades
• Disability Living Allowance & Upgrades
• Pension Credit
• Carer’s Allowance
• Council Tax & Housing Benefit

If a benefit application is being completed, a check for a Blue Badge will also be done.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you or someone you know could benefit from this support.
