SWLSTG Benefits
Our Benefits Advice service helps people in applying for benefits, from initial benefits health checks to ensure they are getting their full entitlement, to form filling and challenging unfair decisions.
This service is funded by South West London and St George’s (SWLStG) Mental Health Trust.
Who is the service for?
The service is for adults aged 18 years or older and living in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or Kingston borough and are receiving support from a mental health professional from South West London and St Georges (SWLSTG) Mental Health Trust.
What to Expect
Once we receive a referral we will contact you to talk about your situation. We can offer support by phone, email, hospital visit, arrange a home visit or an appointment at our accessible offices.

Client Feedback
They took me through the process of applying for PIP, and they helped and reassured me all the way through. The application was successful and I could not have done it without them. They were marvellous.
Excellent on all counts. Adisa is kind and has a vast amount of knowledge and experience. I feel in safe hands with her. I cannot thank her enough. We need more people like her in services such as this.
Rose and her team were truly amazing. They called on time, were reliable and answered all my queries. The advisor was kind, clear and boundaried in her support, and so hardworking. Her advice and professionalism has been invaluable especially when I feel so vulnerable and exposed on those forms. I couldn’t have asked for a more efficient, responsive, caring and helpful service.
