Benefits

Benefits are support from the Government to help you if you’re struggling financially. It could be because you’re unemployed, not earning enough, disabled, a carer, etc.

Benefits can help you pay for food or bills or find a safe place to live. It can also cover maternity leave, council tax reductions, statutory sick pay, etc.

If you’d like information on benefits and help understanding which ones you may be entitled to, you could try speaking to a trusted adult or contacting us on the Meic helpline.
