Don't miss out on benefits you could be entitled to

We regularly speak to customers who are unaware about additional benefits that they could be claiming which often amount to significant sums of money. We would always encourage you to use an online Benefits Calculator such as www.entitledto.co.uk to check if you are receiving the right amount of money in your benefit claims or whether you are eligible for other types of benefits or support.

If your income or circumstances have changed it may affect your benefits
