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>
Information on accessing independent benefit calculators is readily available via the gov.uk website. This includes links to three independent calculators and advice on the type of information required to complete a calculation.<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In addition, DWP staff will signpost post people to independent benefit calculators and websites which provide additional advice and guidance.<\/p>"}
