The quickest way to find out what benefits you can claim is to use a free, independent benefits calculator — from Turn2us, entitledto or Policy in Practice. It’s anonymous and takes a few minutes, and billions of pounds in benefits go unclaimed each year.
The main benefits
Depending on your situation you might be entitled to Universal Credit (working-age, low income), Pension Credit (over State Pension age — very under-claimed), Personal Independence Payment (a health condition or disability, not means-tested), or Council Tax Reduction. A change in circumstances can open up help you couldn’t get before.
