Use an independent benefits calculator at GOV.UK to find out:
- what benefits you could get
- how to claim
- how your benefits will be affected if you start work
To use these you'll need accurate information about your:
- savings
- income, including your partner's (from pay slips, for example)
- existing benefits and pensions (including anyone living with you)
- outgoings (such as rent, mortgage, childcare payments)
- council tax bill
These calculators are anonymous and free to use.
