How to claim benefits and tax credits

Claiming the benefits and tax credits you are entitled to can be difficult to do on your own, but there are organisations which can help you and make the process easier.

Find out how to apply on the GOV.UK website

Fore more guidance, please visit Turn2usCitizens Advice and Money Saving Expert websites.

You need a bank account to receive benefits. If you don't already have a bank account, or you don't qualify for a standard current account, you can set up a fee-free basic bank account with a bank
