Small claims are for simple cases that don’t involve large amounts of money or complicated issues. They’re often used to get compensation or your money back if something’s gone wrong. Small claims are never usually for more than £10,000. More here ⤵️ bit.ly/4qptoRf

"We can clear 70% off your debt!" We're seeing more adverts like this on social media and while they can be very tempting, they often don't tell the full story...🚩🚩 Following inaccurate debt advice can actually leave you worse off, facing hidden costs, impacting your credit score and more ⤵️

It's time to bust our next Universal Credit (UC) myth! ❌Myth: I can’t claim UC because I own my house and its worth over £16,000 ✅Fact: If your house is your main residence (the main place where you live) then its value is disregarded as an asset when you apply for UC Check if you can claim ⤵️

Citizens Advice Plymouth @citizensadviceplym.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Fact of the day: you can work and claim #PersonalIndependencePayment (PIP) - about 1 in 6 claimants do. #PIP is designed to help with the extra costs of living with a long-term condition or disability, so entitlement isn't affected by working, income or savings. ⤵️

💡Things our advisers want you to know! The disabled child element of Universal Credit is an extra payment you may be able to claim if any of your children are disabled - but some families miss out, because they weren't entitled when they started claiming UC. Find out more ⤵️ tinyurl.com/2h8m5sd3
