DWP Universal Credit benefit claimants can get 30 free things - including energy bills discount

If you are on benefits and are struggling financially, this list could be useful and may help you save money.

People who claim benefits such as Universal Credit, tax credits or pension credit could claim additional help from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Latest figures from the DWP estimate that 30 million people rely on Universal Credit and DWP legacy benefits either because they are looking for work or to top up a low income.

This includes Income-based Jobseekers Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit. These benefits act as gateway benefits to other financial support that could help people save thousands of pounds, reports the Express.
