It’s reported an estimated £24.1 billion in benefits and discounts is unclaimed across the UK every year. This means that there are many eligible people who are missing out on financial support.
Benefit Calculator
To help you access the benefits and discounts you are eligible for, we have introduced an online benefit calculator. This tool can help you to identify potential benefits, discounts, and social tariffs that you may be eligible for, and provide guidance on how to claim them.
The calculator covers a wide range of benefits, including:
- Pension Credit
- Personal Independence Payments
- Attendance Allowance
- Council Tax Reduction
- Housing Benefit
- Universal Credit
- Child Benefit
- Tax credits
In addition to benefits, the calculator can also help you to find discounts on:
- energy bills
- water bills
- council tax
- home insurance
- mobile phone contracts
