We recommend you carry out a benefits check if you are struggling financially. It is also worth checking your eligibility if you have a change of circumstance such as:
- Having a child
- Reduction in your household income
- Losing your job
- Moving in with a partner
- Separating from a partner
- Changes to your long-term health
- You’ve reached state pension age
You can carry out a benefits entitlement check yourself, the calculators in the link below are free and details will be kept anonymous.
