A relief to find complete peace of mind

Absolutely amazing. Such a mine field changing benefits and getting correct results. I was practically destitute as o had no clue to the changes and monthly payments. Sympathetic patient and reassuring that it as a temporary situation and will be sorted out sooner than I expected.. was practically suicidal as a widow with kinship care from grandsons birth 2013 in Scotland to Laing my close family in years 6 bereavements and trying to help grandson deal with his grief I couldn’t string a sentence together. I messaged instead response was same day and relief of their support and empathy was amazing. I actually managed to sleep that night after so many nights worrying and allowing myself to become so exhausted I lost half my body weight and my hair through it all. Step change my ade me recover and I no l longer feel guilty am assured I was never alone. They are miracle workers Reviewed on: 30th March 2023
