About
Citizens Advice Mid-North Yorkshire is a registered charity which provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice on issues affecting people's lives. Our goal is to help everyone find a way forward, whatever problems they face. Issues we can help with include Debt, Welfare Benefits, Universal Credit, Employment, Housing and Consumer. You can access our service online, by telephone, email and web chat.
General advice line number to ring for information and advice is 0808 278 7900 (freephone) – Monday to Friday 9.00 am – 5.00 pm.
Our staff and volunteers are working hard to provide our service via telephone, web chat, and email. We have seen demand for advice and information raise as you may expect at this time particularly in the areas of employment, benefits and money problems.
We are offering a basic advice service on all issues and specialist advice in debt, welfare benefits, housing and employment.
We also recommend referring people to our public website for an explanation of latest policy and changing advice at https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/
Many people have had to move onto Universal Credit for the first time due to the latest Government Legislation and are being encouraged to use the Citizens Advice ‘Help to Claim’ service if they are finding this difficult, need support or cannot do an online claim. The phone number for this is 0800 1448 444, where an adviser can help them through the application process for Universal Credit.
