<p>DWP staff will signpost people to independent benefit calculators where they can
check their eligibility for Universal Credit before applying.</p><p> </p><p>The independent
benefits calculators we endorse are intended to provide useful estimations of what
people can get in certain circumstances, based on what information is entered on the
calculators themselves. This is to allow people to safely explore what help they may
receive from Universal Credit before they apply, or based on potential changes of
circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>For people considering claiming Universal Credit, we
have updated our information on gov.uk and on understandinguniversalcredit.gov.uk,
where links to independent benefit calculators are published.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators"
