This project was established to support individuals, as well as parents and carers, of those living with Neurodiverse conditions. This includes common conditions such as Autism and ADHD, as well as more complex needs like Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression.
Many individuals with Neurodiverse conditions also face additional health challenges, which can make it difficult for them to seek support. This is where Citizens Advice Gateshead step in.
They offer assistance with a variety of issues, including benefit form filling, challenging benefit decisions up to the tribunal stage, housing problems, income maximization, debt support, and more.
Each client is assigned their own dedicated caseworker, who will guide them through the process, empowering them and helping to build their confidence as they navigate the steps needed to resolve their issues.
You can contact the project via email lwn@citizensadvicegateshead.org.uk or call us on 0191 490 4384.
There is also a Facebook page where they will be sharing hints, tips and other information: https://www.facebook.com/lwncitizensadvicegatesh
