How to make the most of your benefits
Benefits can be a great help to make ends meet, repay your loans or even start building a rainy day fund and save for your retirement. We will explore how you can get the most out of your benefits and also help you to find out what you can claim.
Increase your income
Universal Credit is a benefit that can assist people who are unemployed, or those with low salaries, to top up their income. The total amount you can get depends on several things such as whether you have a partner, number of dependents or your housing costs. Universal Credit also depends on your monthly take-home pay, so if you have a variable salary, it is a great way to smooth your income.
Specific groups such as low and middle-income families, or disabled people, can get additional benefits that reflect their higher living costs such as Child Benefit, or Personal Independence Payment.
