Access Your Entitlements And
Reduce Your Living Costs
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to navigate forms, applications, and rising living costs. We’re here to make that easier.
Our team offers friendly, practical support to help you access the benefits, passes, and savings you’re entitled to, all designed to reduce your everyday expenses and give you a clearer path forward.
Each service is available for a small, optional donation that simply helps us keep this support running for the community.
How CETMA Can help you
Blue Badge Application Support
If mobility challenges affect your daily life, a Blue Badge can make getting around much easier.
We’ll guide you through the application process, help you gather the right evidence, and make sure your form is completed clearly and correctly.
Hynt Card Application Support
A Hynt Card gives free essential companion tickets at participating theatres and arts venues across Wales.
We’ll help you check eligibility, complete the application, and ensure you can enjoy accessible cultural experiences without the stress.
Bus Pass Application Support
Whether you’re applying for an older person’s pass, a disabled person’s pass, or a companion pass, we’ll help you understand the criteria and complete the application smoothly so you can travel more affordably.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Support
PIP applications can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face them alone.
We’ll help you understand the questions, describe your daily challenges clearly, and prepare your application with confidence and clarity.
Universal Credit Application Support
Universal Credit can be confusing, especially if you’re applying for the first time.
We’ll walk you through the process step by step, help you gather the information you need, and support you in submitting a strong, accurate claim.
Utility Cost Comparison Help
Energy and utility bills can vary widely.
We’ll help you compare providers, understand your options, and explore ways to reduce your monthly costs, giving you more control over your household budget.
Minimum Donation...
To keep these services available to everyone in our community, we ask for a small minimum donation for each appointment. This contribution helps cover essential costs such as staff time, administration, printing, and maintaining our community spaces.
We keep the donation as low as possible so support remains accessible, and every penny goes directly into providing these services. It’s a simple way of ensuring we can continue helping people access the benefits and savings they’re entitled to.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
Bringing a few documents can make the process smoother, but don’t worry if you’re unsure, bring what you can, and we’ll help with the rest.
You may find it helpful to bring:
• Proof of ID
• Proof of address
• Medical evidence (for PIP or Blue Badge)
• Existing benefit letters
• National Insurance number
• Any supporting documents you already have
