The Department for Work and Pensions is reminding customers that there are various independent, free and anonymous benefits calculators to help individuals check what they could be entitled to.

In addition, individuals consider contacting a local independent advice organisation if they have a question about benefits, work, money, housing problems or something similar, and need help in finding out more about their rights and the options available. These organisations will usually be able to offer free advice and support and help to answer any questions individuals may have.
