Benefits

It's important to make sure that you get all the help that you're entitled to.

Benefits and help with council tax when you separate

You might be able to get help with your living costs if you separate from your partner. It's worth checking what benefits you might be able to get, or whether you can get anything extra on top of what you already claim.

Getting benefits if you got ill or were injured at work (employment)

You usually need to have been in Great Britain or paying national insurance in the UK when you got ill or were injured. If you weren't, contact your nearest Citizens Advice to see if you can still get IIDB

Accessing UK benefits and services if you’re subject to immigration control

If you need permission to stay in the UK (for example, a visa or residence permit) you might not be able to apply for all UK benefits or services. There are restrictions on what you can apply for if you’re ‘subject to immigration control’ for benefits and services.

How to claim bereavement benefits

What you can claim depends on your circumstances and what your relationship was to the person who died.

Get help with renting costs

You might be able to get benefits or grants to help you with the cost of renting from a private landlord or through a letting agent.

Financial help for hospital patients

If you're getting certain social security benefits, your entitlement may be affected if you go into hospital.

Sick or disabled people and carers

If you're sick or disabled, you might be able to claim benefits like Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). If you care for someone who is disabled, you might be able to get Carer's Allowance.

If you’re injured because of an accident at work

Having records of your accident will be useful if you make a claim for compensation or you need to claim benefits, including Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).

Housing Benefit

You might be able to get Housing Benefit to help pay your rent if you\’re on a low income or you claim benefits. Housing Benefit is paid by your local council.
