  • If you have children or care for someone

🏥 Extra Help

Getting benefits might also mean you can get:

  • Free NHS dental treatment
  • Free eye tests
  • Cost of living support payments

📝 What You’ll Need to Know

Before you apply, make sure you know:

  • Your total income (money you earn)
  • How much rent you pay
  • Your Council Tax band
  • Your childcare costs (if you have any)
