It is always worth checking that you are getting all the benefits that you are entitled to. Money Saving Expert points out that it is a common misconception that benefits are only available if you are out of work, but even some families with an income of £50,000 or more can qualify for help. With the cost of living rising, it’s more important than ever to know what you’re entitled to.
Turn2us and entitledto both have very straight forward calculators that can be used to check to see if you might be eligible for a benefit.
The Scottish Government Cost of Living site lists, with links, all the main benefits that you may be eligible for. These are all income related.
You may also want to check the Energy Specific Advice and grants page to see if you could make savings as well as the general money saving page.
