The aim of this course is to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of older peoples benefits, including the different benefits available to older people; benefit uptake by older people; eligibility criteria; impacts of changes in circumstances (e.g. admittance into hospital or care); and claims and payment processes. Learners are also taught how to perform simple benefit calculations e.g. paper based and more complicated calculations using an online benefit calculator.
