People with severe mental illness are at a high risk of experiencing welfare benefit or financial problems, for example they are four times more likely than the general population to experience problem debt. In addition, they are at high risk of experiencing deterioration in their mental health.

The interactions between welfare benefit/financial problems and mental illness may lead to a downward spiral into crisis. Providing advice on welfare problems to tenants with mental health problems and other complex needs can be beneficial and can prevent further deterioration in a tenant’s condition and life situation, and help sustain tenancies.
