Claiming Benefits

If you're on a low income or finding it hard to pay your rent or bills, you might be able to claim benefits.

Claiming is easy. If you're not sure whether you qualify for benefits, get in touch with one of the organisations below. Their advice is free and it could save you money.

• Read everything you need to know about benefits on the Citizens' Advice Bureau's Adviceguide website.
• Find useful information on specific benefits using the A–Z list on the Department for Work and Pensions website.
• If you are over 60 and would prefer to talk to someone who specialises in advising on issues specific to older people, contact your local Age UK.
• If you live in the Wakefield district, read about housing and council tax benefits on Wakefield Council's website. Or you can contact Wakefield Citizen's Advice Bureau for general advice about benefits.
