Welcome to the March 2011 issue of the Turn2us e-bulletin for intermediaries. Read on to find out more about April benefits changes, Benefits Awareness Month and the answers to our first Ask an Expert feature on redundancy.
Significant benefits changes come into force in April, particularly affecting people claiming housing benefits or Tax Credits as well as pensioners and those who have dependent children.

Next month we launch our first Benefits Awareness Month – a nationwide media campaign that aims to encourage individuals in financial need, and intermediaries who support them, to use the Turn2us online Benefits Checker to check and claim the benefits they are entitled to.
The campaign will be promoted throughout the month on our Facebook and Twitter sites. Follow us to find out how you can get involved.
Support Turn2us Benefits Awareness Month
Redundancy was the subject of our launch feature last month and you can read the answers from our experts on our website now. Don't forget to submit your questions for the next session starting 23 March which will focus on the upcoming benefits changes and the effects they might have on entitlement.
