The calculator is also available to customers of Halifax and Bank of Scotland, which are part of the same banking group (Alamy/PA) -

Lloyds Bank has launched a new feature in its app to help customers identify benefits and other financial support they may be eligible to claim, such as council tax discounts, energy grants, winter fuel payments and pension credit.

The bank said the calculator has already helped thousands of people to seek support that they may be entitled to, since it started testing the tool a few weeks ago.
