The benefits system offers practical help and financial support in case you are out of job and looking for work. It also gives you some extra income in case your earnings are low, if you are taking acre of children, are retired, have someone in your care, are ill or have a disability. You may also have the right to obtain benefits if you are on a low income or have particular costs due to your personal situation. You can receive benefits in the case if you are having a low income you are in a concrete critical situation which requires certain costs and additional expenditures.

If you can choose one or more from the following statements which describes your situation: your income is low (employed with a low wage or looking for work), you have needy children, you have some health problems or disabilities, you look after someone, you are 60 or over, you are pregnant or have recently given birth to a baby, then you can see if you can apply to obtain financial or other kind of support by reading the benefits and financial support report.

The report tells you who can and cannot obtain particular reimbursements and other support, and future consultations and other types of support. If you are in the category of working age, you can call or pay a visit to your local Jobcentre or Jobcentre Plus agency. If you are already employed or are in a search for work, the staff on the spot will tell you about any kind of benefits you can obtain.
