DWP benefit claimants can get 30 things for free or reduced in August

Millions of DWP benefit claimants could save thousands of pounds with a range of free or reduced cost items available this month.

People on Universal Credit, Jobseekers Allowance and Pension Credit could claim 30 additional forms of support, which could help to save a few extra pounds during the cost of living crisis. The support available ranges from free or discounted broadband, reduced public transport, and gym membership.

Latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that Universal Credit is claimed by more than 5.8 million people in the UK and 40% of these are in work but being paid a low income.
