Benefits Checker

A structured set of questions about your situation, pointing you towards routes worth looking into.

This tool cannot decide entitlement and does not guarantee any award. Routing comes from maintained, evidence-checked information, not from a guess. For a decision about your own circumstances, use free UK advice such as Citizens Advice.

This tool helps organise thoughts and gather your information. It does not provide diagnosis or clinical advice.

Does a health condition or difficulty affect your daily activities?

This is about day-to-day impact, not any label or diagnosis.

Do you have difficulty getting around, or planning and following a journey?

Getting out of the house, using transport, or managing an unfamiliar route.

Unpaid care for a family member, partner, friend or child with additional needs.

Some support takes savings into account. A rough answer is fine.
