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.
