We want to make sure everyone who is entitled to benefits is empowered to claim them. Try us out at entitledto.co.uk
Scotland: Social Security (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2025 – includes a legal obligation to annually increase all benefits delivered under the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 in line with inflation.

Wales: The Council Tax Reduction Schemes (Prescribed Requirements and Default Scheme)(Wales) Regulations 2025 - ensures a claim for Universal Credit can be treated as a claim for CTR.

We know many LAs in England do this but the country wide approach from Wales means it's less of a postcode lottery.

Numbers of people claiming Pension Credit have improved since the Winter Fuel Payment changes were announced in July, with applications up by 145%, but over 700,000 are still deemed to be eligible but not claiming.

Please share to spread the word!
