Check Your Benefits

 

Lots of people miss out on benefits they’re entitled to – so it’s worth checking what you can get.

You can use the following calculator if you would like to look in to this yourself. We suggest that you keep hold of the reference number given if you wish to discuss this with an adviser at a later date.

Benefits Calculator

Please be aware that some circumstances can be complex and this calculator may not give you accurate results if you are:

  • a student
  • on strike
  • living outside the UK
  • living permanently in residential care or a nursing home
  • in prison
  • under 18
  • not a British Citizen

If you want to check whether you are entitled to any benefits and need help with a calculation, please contact us to talk with an adviser.
