Like the Department for Work and Pensions, the benefits department no longer offers a face-to-face service. All the information you should need can be found on these pages.

If you can't complete our online forms, you can ask a relative or friend to help you. If you have no-one who can help, email  revenues.benefits@arun.gov.uk or call 01903 737753 for help (please note if you are not the direct claimant you need to follow our helping someone with a claim guide for us to speak with you on their behalf).
