Questions

Are these courses official?

No. They are general information courses written by Alekows from GOV.UK and official guidance, in plain language. Alekows is not part of the DWP or the government. The courses are not legal advice.

Do I have to pay to claim benefits?

No. Claiming any benefit is free, and free help is also available from Citizens Advice. The courses are for people who want to do it themselves, in their own language, with everything in one place.

Which language will I get?

All three. Every course comes in Bulgarian, Turkish and English, so you can read it in your language and show the English version to someone else if you need to.

What if the rules change?

We update the courses every April, when benefit rates change, and whenever an important rule changes. Message us on WhatsApp with your order email and we’ll send you the latest version.

Can I get a refund?

Because the course is digital content that you get straight away, you agree at checkout that you lose the right to cancel once access starts. If a file doesn’t work or you were charged twice, message us and we’ll fix it.

I didn’t get the download. What now?

Message us on WhatsApp with the email you used at checkout and we’ll send the PDFs to you.

Courses are general information from GOV.UK and are not legal or financial advice. Alekows is an independent service and is not part of the DWP, HMRC, your council or the UK government. We do not give immigration advice. Prices include all charges.
