Western Isles Citizens Advice Service

Western Isles Citizens Advice Service A free, confidential advice service serving the communities of the Western Isles. It helps people to understand their rights and responsibilities as a patient.

As a Bureau, we can assist people through the maze of Social Security Benefits and Tax Credits. We can check their rights to what benefits might be available to them and are only too happy to assist with all aspects of form filling and letter writing. We also have a dedicated Money Advice team that can assist people with debt, they can help with budgeting, dealing with creditors and helping people

come to terms with their debt. We also have the Patient Advice & Support Service (PASS)- which is an independent service which provides free, accessible and confidential information, advice and support to patients, their carers and families about NHS healthcare. It also works with the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland to improve healthcare provision. If requested, we can represent people at Unified Appeal Tribunals and Employment Tribunals. Whatever your problem, or if you require information, assistance or advice please contact us.
