Benefits Search

You, like many people, may be missing out on financial help that is available to you. These may include welfare benefits to help you if you are unemployed and looking for work, or to provide you with additional money if you have a low income, are retired, bringing up children, ill, have a disability or care for someone.

• Use our simple Benefits Checker to work out how much you could claim. Start by letting us know where you live and pressing the calculate button.
• Find out more about welfare benefits.

As you go through the benefits checker, you will need to refer to various pieces of paper work, like bills and bank statements. Read more about what you will need (opens in a new window) before you get started.

If you have not used this service before, it may be useful to take a look at this quick quide (opens in a new window).

You can stop at any time and come back to the calculation later. If you are returning to a calculation you started earlier please go to saved calculation.

In addition to any support you are entitled to through welfare benefits, support may also be available from other sources:

• Use the Grants Search to check whether you could receive support from a charity
