Claiming everything?
One of the first things to do, to check if you are receiving the benefits you are entitled to, is to do a quick check using a benefits calculator. There are a number of these available, but you may like to try one or more of the following.
Before you start you may want the following information available to help you:
- Savings information
- Income information (including partner’s)
- Benefits and pensions you are currently getting (including anyone living with you)
- Rent costs, mortgage costs
- Childcare costs
- Council tax
Please note that some calculators won't allow you to use them or won't provide accurate information if:
- Under 18
- Living outside the UK
- Living in a residential care home/nursing home permenantly
- A prisoner
- A student
- Not a British or Irish citizen
