IPR KidsSupport
IPR KidsSupport is a dedicated service for Islington families. Many families with children with disabilities or long term health conditions have financial difficulties, and do not access their full entitlement of benefits. Often they get in debt as they have little time or knowledge to negotiate the bureaucracy. Disability Living Allowance (DLA) remains for children under the age of 16, but it is a complicated application process needing an appeal if turned down. Read more…
IPR Care
IPR Care assists people caring for relatives and others with dementia and physical disabilities, by providing welfare benefits and debt advice. Carers perform an essential unpaid role for thousands of people, often 24 hours a day. The nature of the role means that they often have little time to devote to dealing with complexities around benefits entitlements. Carers UK reported that 40% of carers are in debt and the proportion of carers unable to afford their utility bills more than doubled in 2022. 35% report that they are cutting back on food and heating, and 8% of carers are using food banks to cope with the cost of living crisis.

PR began delivery of the Disability Focus project in November 2013. The aim of the project is to provide extra support to Islington disabled residents at this time of major welfare benefit changes. Read more…
