An example of how Be Wise can help

Lead Project Manager Victoria Down, contacted Be Wise about whether her mum could claim anything due to poor health. The Be Wise team didn’t just provide advice about Attendance Allowance, they also helped with the long and complex claim form.

It’s something Victoria really appreciated: “As an Anchor employee, I’m always amazed by the fantastic services available to us and our families. My mother is unfortunately on chemotherapy for bone cancer and what seem like everyday tasks to you and I, are a massive struggle for her. The Be Wise service provided a lifeline, not just to understand what we could claim but making that easier by helping with the form. My mother was treated with respect and kindness throughout and is now benefiting from Attendance Allowance.”
