information and advice on all aspects of disability to local disabled
people.

Please note we cannot see you without an appointment.
If English is not your first language we will try and match you with a worker who speaks your language. Otherwise you will need to bring someone to interpret for you.
BSL users will be seen by BSL trained Workers.
We also produce Directories, Fact Sheets and Holiday Information Packs.
We can put you in touch with EDA projects and other organisations that may be useful to you.

Getting Timely Advice
DIAP Advice Workers constantly advice service users to deal with problems promptly. Whether you
need an adaptation at home, or help in the home, or have been refused a benefit or service, your best course of action is to get help promptly.
Have you been refused a Social Security benefit or wish to appeal against an unfair decision?
It is obviously very upsetting and distressing to lose a benefit or service that you may been receiving for a long time, or to have a benefit
or service reduced. If this has happened to you then please contact a good advice service like DIAP as soon as possible.
This is especially important when you have recently been refused benefits such as Employment & Support Allowance (ESA) or Disability Living Allowance (DLA).
