Welfare Benefits and Housing

Our advice sessions cover a wide range of welfare and housing issues. Our experienced advisers offer support with housing benefits, illegal evictions, rent arrears and homelessness applications.

We provide support to navigate the UK’s welfare benefits system, including applications for support for long-term illnesses or disabilities, child benefit, Universal Credit and more. We challenge decisions made by public bodies through mandatory reconsiderations and make referrals to our trusted partners when needed.

With over 40 years of experience delivering advice, we have a strong track record of providing tailored, accessible support, specifically designed for the Latin American migrant and refugee community.

We are committed to defending the rights of our community, actively monitoring and responding to the evolving legislative changes affecting them.

The people I met at IRMO were exceptional, from the receptionist arranging appointments to the welfare adviser who resolved my issues with Universal Credit, Housing Benefits, and Council Tax. Their professional support was invaluable, helping me alleviate my anxiety, worries, and stress. I deeply appreciate everything they did for me.

Access to Rights Workshops

We regularly host workshops and events on key topics to help people access their rights and entitlements, navigate systems independently, and stay informed about important legal changes. Previous sessions have covered the welfare system, asylum support, housing and eviction rights.

Check our events calendar for upcoming sessions.
