We know this has been a difficult time for most, on the back of the pandemic and now the cost of living crisis. We wanted to provide you with a 'benefit' calculator, which gives you access to information about benefits you are entitled to claim.
This will give you an estimate of:
• The benefits you could get
• How much your benefit payments could be
• How your benefits will be affected if you start work or increase your hours
• How your benefits will be affected if your circumstances change - for example, if you have a child or move in with your partner
For information on income-related benefits, contribution-based benefits, Universal Credit, tax credits, Council Tax Reduction and Carer’s Allowance use:
• entitledto benefits calculator
• Turn2us benefits calculator
• Policy in Practice better off calculator
You’ll need accurate information about your:
• Savings
• Income, including your partner’s (from payslips, for example)
• Existing benefits and pensions (including anyone living with you)
• Outgoings (such as rent, mortgage, childcare payments)
• Council Tax bill
You cannot use the calculators if you’re under 18, and they will not give accurate results if you’re:
• A prisoner
• A student
• Not a British or Irish citizen
• on strike
• living outside the UK
• living permanently in residential care or a nursing home
We hope you find this helpful.
