Help with benefits
Since forming in July, Bridgend County Borough Council’s Take Up team has assisted more than 200 local people in getting help with housing benefits, council tax and rent. The team provides information and advice and can carry out simple checks to see if people are eligible. They can also help you make an application and assist with filling out relevant forms. For more details, call (01656) 643362 or email benefits@bridgend.gov.uk

Bridgend County Borough Council has provided Bridgend CAB with £46,000 and Maesteg CAB with £44,000 to help deal with increased workloads.
