We're building tools for more benefits - new sites join the family when they're ready.
The benefits system is hard work at exactly the moment people have the least energy for it. We build tools that carry some of that weight.
Every guide is written to be read on a bad day. No jargon, no 40-page PDFs, no "refer to regulation 4(2)(a)".
One clear price, paid once. No subscriptions that renew quietly and no percentage of your award.
Our tools improve how you present your case. Nobody can promise an award, and we never pretend otherwise.
Independent guides to the questions that sit between benefits - which one applies to you, how the rates compare, and what changes with age.
Got a decision letter or a form to send back? Enter the date on it to work out your last day. Covers PIP, ESA, UC, ADP, Northern Ireland and SEND.
Pick two benefits, such as PIP and Universal Credit or Carer's Allowance and State Pension, and see whether they can be paid together, whether one reduces the other and the rule behind it.
Look up any UK council to see official figures on Universal Credit health, PIP outcomes and Scotland's and Northern Ireland's disability benefits, side by side with the figure for the whole nation.
This year's main benefit changes on one timeline, month by month: the April rates, the Universal Credit health element, the two-child limit and Right to Try, plus Scotland, Northern Ireland and SEND. Each change shows its status and official source.
A plain-English map of PIP, ADP, Attendance Allowance, DLA, ESA and Universal Credit - by age, work and care needs.
Every current rate on one page, straight from the official DWP uprating document.
Why new claims switch from PIP to Attendance Allowance - and why timing can be worth up to £80 a week.
The parents' guide to the age-16 handover - deadlines, changes, and what DLA unlocks.
