Health and community care
Citizens Advice regularly responds to consultations using examples of CAB clients' problems. We use this evidence to campaign for changes in policies and services.
Citizens Advice Bureaux deal with problems many relating to disability and sickness benefits.
Research has clearly established the link between low income and poor health, and most bureaux are actively engaged in benefit take-up campaigns. An increasing number of bureaux are running outreach services in health centres, GP surgeries and hospitals, and one in five run specialist mental health services.
