Checking Out The Benefit Changes

With all the changes starting to kick in from last year’s budget, it can be hard to figure out what’s happening and when but more importantly how it will affect you and your family. So many people arrive at Confessions of a Single Mum through search terms like..

• What are single mum entitled to
• Single parent changes to benefits
• Budget single mum changes
• Tax credits single mum
• Benefits single mum

and that’s a small part of the list. Although we have a benefit section where I talk through the benefits you may be entitled to there is a place where you can tap in your details and get a better idea of what you may be entitled to.

Turn2Us is a free website which is a charitable service which helps people access the money available to them, be it through welfare benefits, grants or other help.

You can even register and t will save your details, very useful if you want to compare different scenarios. I found it invaluable over the years and still use it on regular bases whenever they are changes in the system so that I know how things are going to affect me financially.
