There are several different types of benefits and other forms of support you could receive. You might also be entitled to Universal Credit, tax credits or help with your council tax, housing costs and national insurance, or other kinds of financial support. We can also give you information about how to claim benefits, how you’ll receive your benefit payments, and what to do if you have any problems getting them. If you are claiming Universal Credit for the first time, we can help in person, by phone or via webchat – find out more on our national Help to Claim page.
