Many people will need to consider Government Benefits because of the Pandemic. For some, this will be the first time and you may require guidance on what you can claim and how much. If you are at all unsure we have included links to guidance from independent Benefits Calculators.
Benefits Calculators
If you want to check what benefits you are entitled to, the Government recommends using an independent calculator to find out:
- what benefits you could get
- how to claim
- how your benefits will be affected if you start work
These are free to use, anonymous, and have replaced the Benefits Adviser service.
Use one of the following:
Turn2us – for information on income-related benefits, tax credits, Council Tax Reduction, Carer’s Allowance, Universal Credit and how your benefits will be affected if you start work or change your working hours
