If you’re having difficulty paying your rent, it’s worth checking whether you’re entitled to more income/benefits.
Many people who are working may still be eligible for a Universal Credit top up. You can check your eligibility and possible entitlements using one of the many online benefit calculators. We recommend Policy in Practice, where they have a handy budget and benefit calculator: www.betteroffcalculator.co.uk.
This calculator also has a great budgeting tool and offers tips on how to reduce your outgoings.
If you have any queries regarding your calculation, our Money Matters team can help you make sure you are claiming all the help and support you are entitled to. For advice or to request an appointment, please email [email protected].
