Benefits

AGE UK has an excellent and well structured website with information on everything you need to know about benefits. The website includes a benefits calculator - a simple online tool where you can find out if there are any benefits you might be able to claim for. 

Whilst some of the information relates to older people, much of it applies to any age group.
