Millions of pounds goes unclaimed every year. Often by people in work.

Why we started

The UK benefits system is enormous, and most of the information about it is written for people who already understand it. Meanwhile the households most likely to miss out are the ones quietly getting by — a full-time worker whose rent has gone up, a single parent paying for childcare, a pensioner living on a small occupational pension, a self-employed tradesperson with a quiet winter.

Every one of those people has heard the same thing: “you probably earn too much”. Often that's simply not true. Eligibility usually depends on your household income, your housing costs, your children, your health and your savings — not on whether you have a job.

So we built a check that starts where people actually are: working, paying bills, and wondering whether it's worth asking. It takes a few minutes, it's free, and it tells you honestly what may apply — plus exactly where to go next.

Our commitment to you

We will always tell you clearly when something is an indication rather than a decision. We'll never ask you to pay to discover your entitlements. And we'll never sell your information or pass it to anyone for marketing.
