£22.7 billion in benefits and discounts unclaimed across the UK.
It’s reported an estimated £22.7 billion in benefits and discounts is unclaimed across the UK every year. This means that there are many eligible people who are missing out on financial support.
To help you access the benefits and discounts you are eligible for, we have launched our first online benefit calculator. This tool can help you to identify potential benefits, discounts, and social tariffs that you may be eligible for, and provide guidance on how to claim them.
The calculator covers a wide range of benefits, including:

- Housing Benefit
- Universal Credit
- Child Benefit
- Tax credits
In addition to benefits, the calculator can also help you to find discounts on:

The calculator also provides direct access to a range of support services in Bromley and across the UK.
