Independent information in one place

How to use this site
Start with the Support Finder
Answer five quick questions about your household, your age, benefits, home type, and circumstances. The finder shows which schemes you are likely to qualify for and links to the relevant guides.
Try the Support Finder →Read the relevant guides
Each guide explains a specific scheme in plain English. Eligibility criteria, payment amounts, how to apply, and what happens next. Technical terms are explained in a key terms box.
Confirm with official sources
All guides link to the relevant government department, Ofgem, or Citizens Advice page so you can verify eligibility and apply directly through the official route.
