Public fund offices by city, with their walk-in and booking rules
Each public fund office covers certain postcodes and keeps its own mix of walk-in days and appointments. For each office you can see who it serves, how to ask for help with a first claim and what to bring. Trade unions also take claims, at their own offices.
