Benefit Enquiry Line (BEL)

A national helpline that provides advice about benefits for people with disabilities (including cancer patients), carers and representatives. BEL has no access to case papers or records and so gives general information only. Large print or braille copies can be provided on request. BEL can also provide help with the completion of some disability related claimpacks.
