Connect can help with the following:

• Are you struggling to make ends meet?
• Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment or Adult Disability Payment. 
• In low paid work and unsure what in-work benefits you may be entitled to?
• Do you need help or advice to understand your benefits?
• Have you been affected by benefit changes?
• Do you need a form completed for a benefit you are claiming?

The service also works in partnership with other services that provide adult learning, health and lifestyle support, energy advice, benefit appeals, money advice for debts, carers, housing, Credit Union, Dundee employment services and many other local initiatives and can arrange appointments with them for you.

We are also currently offering appointments at venues within communities across Dundee. View google maps for further details. Below is the list of venues (as of April 2024).
