We have funded a guide for advisers helping people with discrimination in the welfare benefits system.

It covers:

  • examples of discrimination cases within the welfare benefits system
  • how the law can help  
  • how you can get further help

The aim of this resource is to help you use equality and human rights legislation effectively when providing advice.

Do you work for an advice organisation?

If you work for an advice organisation or a trade union you can get help on equality and human rights issues using our EHRC Adviser Support service.

Advice and support

If you think you might have been treated unfairly and want further advice, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

The EASS is an independent advice service, not operated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
