No connection at all with them

I filled in the form for an attendance allowance assistance and received the standard email telling me a representative would call me within the next working day
That would have been fine but this morning I received an email advising they could not contact me on my mobile number and to ring them.

I checked my mobile inbox and there were no calls from them. I had two numbers to ring and on each occasion I was met with a recorded message telling me someone would ring me back. That in itself was not impressive.

A rather gruff gentleman rang me back and when I taxed him about the calls he said they had tried twice and that the number was unobtainable. I said that sounded strange as he had just rung me back on the same number. His response was to say dismissively that he could not help me and hung up.

That was not only an unpleasant experience but the Company seemed unpofessional in that they had to rely on an answerphone on both numbers and there was no-one to answer the phone.

I wouod say avoid. There are a lot nicer Companies out there that will act professionally and treat you with respect.

Our records show that we attempted to contact you twice following your enquiry. When contact was eventually made, the conversation became abusive towards our member of staff. We have a clear policy that our staff must be treated with respect, and in these circumstances we chose not to proceed with the enquiry.

We understand that this may have been frustrating, but we will always prioritise the wellbeing of our team when deciding whether to take on a new client.

Rivermede court

Nicola from Grey Matter visited Rivermede Court Care Home to deliver an informative and engaging talk for our residents and their families. She is incredibly genuine, approachable, and clearly passionate about supporting others, always going above and beyond to help. We would highly recommend Nicola and Grey Matter to anyone seeking clear, compassionate advice.

Helpful reassuring service.

Very helpful having someone who could guide us so well through the Attendance Allowance process. Simon was very thorough. He also helped by phoning them for us when there was a hiccup at the beginning of the claiming process. I would highly recommend this company.

Amazing Nicky Graham & Grey Matters

Nicky Graham had been recommended to me by a work colleague to help my father complete the form to claim Attendance Allowance. Nicky was amazing & supported myself and my father through this process with lots of kindness and understanding resulting in a positive outcome. My very elderly father can now get some assistance to help him cope and deal with his day to day life. Thanks again Nicky

The company was recommended by a friend.

The company was recommended by a friend. On contact I received very helpful advice and understanding of my situation. As a result I forwarded the necessary information to them, they in turn sent this to the DWP and due to my current diagnosis I was granted an allowance within 2 weeks of my original contact with Grey Matters. Their help was invaluable. Thank you so much.

I contacted Grey Matters. Best decision ever made!

I contacted Grey Matters after having my application for Attendance Allowance declined.
I have had years of health issues and decided to apply for AA.
It is a very difficult and complicated thing to do if you are not familiar with the 30 plus pages of tricky questions. After I was declined I contacted Grey Matters. I had read reviews about them and I found them on Google. I made contact and a very nice man named Simon. We had a long friendly chat about why I needed to apply. He was very knowledgeable and caring in a manner that was not too intrusive.
You have to be prepared to tell it “as it is “
Warts and all . I am sure Simon and the rest of the team have heard it all before. So no feeling of embarrassment was involved . After our informal chat . Simon asked for medical information from my GP. Then he was able to proceed with the form filling
What was a nightmare to do alone was made very easy as Simon guided me through the endless questions. Once this was done I received the forms all very professionally filled in, and typed out and easy to understand.
I think many people, myself including, are too anxious to tell every thing and we end up writing a lot of unimportant things. What we find important is not necessarily what the DWP wants to hear.
So save yourself time and stress and use Grey Matters to help you with these difficult forms.
I was granted AA after Simon did his job and I am very grateful for his help.
Please don’t hesitate , go ahead and get the professional company to look after your needs.
I can certainly recommend using Grey Matters and Simon and the rest of the team to help make your life easier in so many ways

Making a Claim the most helpful experience is Grey Matters.

When you have a need to make a claim to support your living needs then it can be overwhelming to put your claim together in a meaningful manner.
To have someone support you, making certain all your issues are clearly represented on your claim and guide you through the process up to the point of submitting your application , Grey Matters clearly provide that support with compassion.
