Universal Credit Benefits Calculator
Universal Credit / Benefits Calculator
Many people will need to consider Government Benefits because of the Pandemic, some for the first time and they may ask you about guidance on claiming and amounts. If it’s not your area of expertise, then refer them to the Government website and to the guidance notes in the Resource Centre. Below is guidance to direct them to an independent Benefits Calculator.
BENEFITS CALCULATORS
If you want to check what benefits you are entitled to the Government recommends using an independent calculator to find out:
- what benefits you could get
- how to claim
- how your benefits will be affected if you start work
These are free to use, anonymous, and have replaced the Benefits Adviser service.
Use one of the following:
