Benefit checks and grants

Benefit checks

You can use the on-line benefits checker at Turn2Us at www.turn2us.org.uk

However, if you fall into one of the following groups, the calculator may not be suitable as special rules can often apply. If this affects you, contact a local advice agency for support in checking your benefits.

• Students
• People under 18
• People permanently in residential care, nursing home or hospital
• Prisoners
• People on strike
• People who are not British or Irish citizens
• UK nationals who live abroad
