Benefits

The benefits system provides help and financial support for people who are unemployed and looking for work. If you’re 16 or over you may be able to claim certain benefits or tax credits (government payments) if you’re on a low income, looking for work, disabled or caring for a child or older person. How much you get will depend on your age and personal circumstances.
