No questionnaire. Just what to do.
Something has changed. Here is what to do about it.
Losing a job, a baby arriving, a death, a separation, an illness, reaching pension age. Each of these changes what you can claim, and several of them have deadlines that nobody writes to remind you about. Pick the one that has happened.
I have lost my job
Two claims, one deadline, and the payment nobody mentions.
2 urgent, 4 afterA baby is on the way
Two things with deadlines, and free vitamins nobody mentions.
3 urgent, 4 afterSomeone has died
Very little is urgent. These few things are.
2 urgent, 4 afterWe are separating
Every calculation changes. Two of them in the first week.
2 urgent, 4 afterI cannot work because of illness
Statutory Sick Pay runs out before the next thing starts.
2 urgent, 3 afterI am reaching State Pension age
It does not arrive on its own, and Pension Credit is missed by hundreds of thousands.
2 urgent, 3 afterWhy these pages exist
The money you are entitled to does not change because of who you are. It changes because of what has happened to you. But the help is organised by the name of the benefit, so you have to already know what you are looking for to find it, at exactly the moment you have no patience for looking.
- Everything with a deadline is at the top, because those are the ones that cost you money.
- Every claim links to the official page, so you can check us and then apply there.
- Nothing here is a form for us. We are not paid by anyone you might claim from.
- When you have done the urgent bits, the full check is three minutes and stays in your browser.
