Understanding benefits
There are a wide range of people who may be entitled to benefits. Here are some of the groups of people who could be eligible for extra support:

- Those experiencing illness or disabled people
- Carers
- Young people
- Older people
- Parents
- Armed forces and veterans
- People on a low income
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.
