Could you – or someone you know – be eligible for support like James?

When James came across CISWO’s Personal Welfare Service through a miners’ Facebook group, he didn’t expect it to change his life. But reaching out made a real difference.

James, who was already receiving Industrial Injury Disability Benefit for pneumoconiosis, discovered that he was entitled to even more support. With help from CISWO, he was able to:

Increase his award
Secure a lump sum compensation
Claim Pension Age Disability Payment

This kind of tailored support is available to former coal miners and their families across the UK. Whether it’s financial assistance, welfare advice, or help navigating complex benefit systems, CISWO is here to ensure no one is left behind.

If you or someone you know has a mining background and could benefit from expert, compassionate support, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
