This article reports on a pilot study undertaken in Bexley and discusses the specific health issues of this group. Thirty adults with a mental health diagnosis, and who were receiving input from voluntary and/or community mental health services and had worries about existing debts, preventing debt or meeting mortgage or other loan repayments were referred to a debt specialist. The research highlights the link between the alleviation of financial problems via specialist debt advice and improvements in mental health.
