Certain people on low incomes, or those who meet other specific needs, could be eligible to claim benefits in the UK. For example, these payments could help you if you are on low income, are out of work, have children or are a carer.

There are several types of benefits in the UK, all with different criteria you must meet to be eligible to receive them, such as Universal Credit, Jobseeker's Allowance, Pension Credit, Council Tax support and Disability Living Allowance.
