Ensuring you claim all the benefits you’re entitled to

You may be able to get support to help with your everyday living costs, depending on your individual circumstances.

There are a range of benefits, grants and other types of financial assistance available for people on low incomes or experiencing financial difficulties. This support could help you with essential expenses such as food, energy bills, housing costs, and other necessary items.

We encourage you to explore what support you might be entitled to, even if you have not previously received benefits, as eligibility criteria can vary.
