Client stories
Lucinda’s Story
Lucinda struggled financially when her benefits stopped in January 2023. NBAC intervened, correcting her housing benefit, securing a council tax reduction, and addressing overpayment issues.
Sharon’s Story
Sharon lives with her husband in social housing and is unfit to work due to severe health conditions, including osteoarthritis and severe anxiety and depression. Despite receiving PIP since 2016, her benefits were reduced following a review in April 2023, leading to significant anxiety and a lengthy appeals process.
