One of the challenges of modern life is the ability to manage our own personal finances. This can be especially difficult when suffering from a mental illness.
Falling ill may result in a person being unable to work, and probably having to claim benefits to help with day-to-day living. Claiming benefits can be very demanding without outside help.
Thankfully there are now many organisations that can offer advice and help with personal finance, housing and council tax, benefits and law.
