Claim benefits
Make sure you are claiming all the government support you can. It's worth checking even if you are already getting benefits like Universal Credit or Pension Credit.
Benefits calculators
Use a benefits calculator on the government website to check if you can access more benefits. You can use the Citizens Advice benefits calculator or contact Isle of Wight Citizens Advice.
Pension credit
You may be able to get Pension Credit if you are single with a weekly income of less than £182.60 or £278.70. Get more information and use the online calculator on the government website.
More government support
More information about all the government support with the cost of living is on their Help for Households website.
