Benefit Sums gives general information and estimates. It is not legal, financial or benefits advice, and it does not take account of everything about your situation.
Only the DWP, Social Security Scotland, the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland, HMRC or your council can decide what you are entitled to. Their decision may differ from our estimate.
Do not make an important decision, such as turning down work, giving up a benefit or moving into care, based only on our calculators. Get free, independent advice first from:
- Citizens Advice (England and Wales), Citizens Advice Scotland and Advice NI
- Turn2us for a full benefits check
- Carers UK for carers
- Age UK for older people and care costs
We work hard to keep figures correct, but rules change and mistakes can happen. We are not responsible for any loss caused by relying on this website.
