Benefits calculator
You can use an independent, free and anonymous benefits calculator to check what you could be entitled to. This will give you an estimate of:
- the benefits you could get
- how much your benefit payments could be
- how your benefits will be affected if you start work or increase your hours
- how your benefits will be affected if your circumstances change – for example, if you have a child or move in with your partner
Free NHS Prescriptions
You may be able to get free NHS prescriptions, dental treatment, eye tests and help with other NHS costs. Use the NHS tool to see what help you could get.
