Manager at CAB Anne Bamfield, said: “CAB is often approached by clients with cancer and other terminal illness or their carers who are seeking help with applications for various living allowances.
“The home visiting service is a much-needed lifeline to those who would find it difficult to seek advice in other ways as a proportion of it is lengthy form filling.”
Cllr Long said: “This is not a particularly well publicised service yet it is important. Like all services these days they have to be funded and during these austere times that funding is not easy to obtain.”
