BDA (NI) have some good news we would like to share with members of the Deaf community.
Deaf people will be able to go to their local Advice NI or CAB office and request Interpretation services for support with Welfare Reform related issues, such as PIP and Universal Credit. Please let your local office know in advance of your appointment whether you will require a BSL or ISL interpreter to be booked. This additional funding from the Department for Communities is currently available until 31 March 2019.
Alternatively, you can email welfarechanges@adviceni.net to request a sign language interpreter.
