Do you earn under £66350, yes you read right £66350, a lot of money, yet people who earn under this amount (depending on circumstances) are entitled to certain benefits and tax credits. Many people are simply unaware of their benefits and millions of pounds go unclaimed each year, including a million plus low income pensioners who fail to apply for their pension credit.
You can do a very quick 5 minute benefit check at http://entitledto.co.uk/
There is no charge and it does the work for you: it has a regularly updated calculator that works everything out, in one go, whether you're 22 or 72. It's very simple to use: just input basic details about your personal situation, such as income, council tax bill, and your savings and it reveals what, if any, benefits you're entitled to.
The calculator includes all the main benefits: Working Tax Credit; Council Tax and Housing Benefit; Pension Credit; Child Benefit; Child Trust Fund and Child Tax Credit. It's important to remember, benefits rules do change, so if it's likely you're entitled to benefits then it's worth doing an annual check up.
