Benefits and support If you can't get local welfare assistance

If you are not eligible for local welfare assistance see other help available if you are in financial crisis.

If you have applied, but have been refused, we can reconsider your welfare assistance application if:

  • you think we have made a factual error when we made our decision; or
  • you have new evidence that wasn't provided with your original application.

You need to write to us within one calendar month of our decision, explaining why you think we should reconsider, to welfare.enquiries@manchester.gov.uk or:
