To work out your entitlement we need to know whether you are single or in a
couple,
how many
children under 20 you have, your
Council Tax bill (after any disability reduction and/or single person discount), and your housing status.
Please get more information if you are
in hospital or a residential care home.
Please note: the calculator's estimates are based on the information you supply to give you an idea of your potential entitlements. For organisations that can
provide individual assistance see
more advice. The calculator is currently using benefit and tax credit rates for 2008/09.
