Scope
Free, independent advice for disabled people and their families in England and Wales.
Scope's helpline covers benefits, work, social care, independent living and the everyday obstruction that comes with them — the practical pressures that so often sit underneath a mental health crisis.
It is free, and you do not need a diagnosis or a referral to use it.

Is something here wrong?
A number that no longer works is the most serious thing that can go wrong on this site. If you have tried one of these and it did not connect, please tell us and we will check it the same day.
We are not affiliated with Scope and we do not speak for them. This page describes their service as they publish it; their own site is always the authority.
