Benefits

Learn about the benefits you can get and how they are paid. If you are not happy with a decision, find out what you can do and how you can appeal. If you pay national insurance, find out which contributions pay for which benefits.

Check the support you can get if you are living on a low income, including Universal Credit, housing benefits, and child tax credits.

Depending on your situation, there are different benefit calculators to check which benefits you can get. You’ll need information about savings, income, pension, childcare payments and any existing benefits (for you and your partner).

Find out if you can claim benefits if you’re from the EU or European Economic Area (EEA) and you live in the UK.
