Every figure has a source
Amounts, thresholds and dates come from a published official page. We store the source and show you the link.

How this site is different
We are a small independent team. These rules are what make the information here worth trusting.
-
-
Every page has a date
Rates change. You can see when we last checked a figure, so you know whether to trust it today.
-
We say when we are unsure
If we have not confirmed a rate, we do not print a number. We send you to the official page instead.
Browse by topic
Every benefit and grant we cover, grouped the way people look for them.
We are not a government service
UK Help Finder is independent. We explain the rules in plain English and always link you to the official page where you actually apply.
