The bank holiday weekend is the perfect time to check you are not missing out on benefits or discounts
The Spring bank holiday weekend is here and will see most of the country bask in some much-needed sunshine over the long weekend. While the spring break is a welcome breather from the five-day weekly norm, it is also the perfect time to check you are not missing out on benefits or payments.
Neil Hugh, Head of Workplace Proposition at Standard Life, part of Phoenix Group, is urging people struggling with their finances due to the ongoing cost of living crisis, to check for unclaimed payments as it “could make a difference”. “Many people don’t realise that if you get accepted for some benefits, it can mean you are entitled to others. If you’re struggling with the increased cost of living, it’s worth checking you’re claiming any and all payments you might be entitled to - it could make a difference.”
In just a few minutes you could find out how much you may be able to claim in extra support, just by entering details about yourself, your residential status, your working status and any savings you have.Where to find help Advice Direct Scotland This online tool is the first to fully integrate devolved benefits, including Scottish Child Payment and Adult Disability Payment.
