This series of zoom afternoons (1:00 – 4:00) looks at the range of payments and allowances for people under pension age.
We see why different people get different combinations of payments and allowances.
We cover the whole system, and we look at PIP and Universal Credit in detail.
This is video training, so you will need to have your camera on, and you will need your own (not shared) tablet or computer (not a phone)
