As soon as I heard that WLAC opened an outreachwork office in Stockwell, south London, I was very happy and said to myself, at last we have a Portuguese Speaking Advice Centre that we longed for. The following week of WLAC opening, my husband lost is job. I went to them and we were welcomed with open arms. Your orgainsation helped my husband apply for JSA, housing benefit and council tax benefit. Thanks to you that we managed to apply for child tax credit which we were unaware of.
