Benefits calculators
If you are not sure if you qualify for any benefits you can use an independent benefits calculator to check.
Use an independent benefits calculator to find out:
- what benefits you could get
- how to claim
- how your benefits will be affected if you start work
These services are all anonymous and free to use.
