If you’re living on a low income you might be entitled to extra benefits and entitlements, including Universal Credit – even if you’re currently working.
Many people miss out on support because they think they won’t qualify, which is why it’s always worth checking out what’s available, particularly if you’re struggling with essential living costs, including rent or mortgage payments or important bills and payments.
Benefits, low-cost or free government loans and charitable grants can get you through those times where you may need a helping hand.
For example, if you’re sick or caring for someone, pregnant or looking after children, you’ve lost your job, been bereaved or retired.
