Some benefits are not means tested, nor do you have to have paid any National Insurance contributions in order to claim them. These include Child Benefit if you have dependent children.
There are also benefits for people with disabilities such as Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance and Carers’ Allowance for their carers.
Whether you can claim any of these benefits will depend on the nature of your illness or disability and the effect it has on you.
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) The benefits agency has become the Department for Work and Pensions, which includes the Job Centre Plus network, the Pension Service, the Disability and Carers Service and the Child Support Agency. We sometimes refer to the DWP for short. Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit are dealt with by HM Revenue and Customs. |
