Calculating benefits

Single parents can get help  with personalised benefit calculations by calling the Helpline. We can help you understand what income you will have coming in if you are new to claiming benefits or there is a change in circumstances such as having a baby, starting a new job or a reduction in your working hours and much more.

We also provide face to face services in our Glasgow and Lanarkshire financial inclusion services to help you calculate what you might be entitled to.
