    The building will be open as normal for staff access. Service to customers will recommence from 9am for anyone visiting Royal Avenue Social Security Office and/or contacting the Department about:

    • Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
    • Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
    • Carers Allowance
    • Attendance Allowance
    • Welfare Supplementary Payments

    Universal Credit remains unaffected.

    Thanks to all our customers for their understanding during today’s closure.

    If you need to visit Royal Avenue Social Security Office on Wednesday 29 August you can instead use the North Belfast office in the Design Centre, 39 Corporation Street, Belfast.

    If you need help, contact your local Jobs & Benefits offices, JobCentres and Social Security Offices.

    The Department for Communities apologises for any inconvenience.
