If your financial circumstances have changed or you are struggling financially, it is important to check whether you may be entitled to receive any additional benefits. It’s a common misconception that benefits are only available if you’re out of work – but even some families with an income of £50,000 or more can qualify for help.
A good resource is the entitledto website which provides a free assessment of the benefits you could be claiming.
Age UK provides good advice if you are of pensionable age, please see their Benefits and Entitlements webpage for more information.
