Are you claiming all the benefits you are entitled to?

If you find yourself struggling with finances, quite often you will be encouraged to claim Universal Credit. However, this may not be the best route for you. Before you go ahead, it may be worth speaking to an Inclusion Advisor for advice.

We have a team of Inclusion Advisors who give advice and support on topics like:

• The benefits you may be entitled to: what to claim and how to claim.
• Money and/or debt management.
• What funds you may be able to claim, depending on your circumstances.
• What other help is available.

Just call 0300 1234 161 and ask to speak to your Inclusion Advisor.

We have also put together some organisations that offer Entitlement Checkers to help you find out exactly what you can claim:
