JUST CREDIT UNION HAS LAUNCHED A NEW BENEFITS CALCULATOR TO HELP PEOPLE MAXIMISE THEIR INCOME
It is estimated that in the UK there are over eight million households missing £19bn in benefits. The most common reason people miss out is because they are unaware of what benefits they are entitled to receive or they assume they are not eligible. With the current cost of living crisis Just Credit Union felt it was important to help members maximise their income and ensure they are receiving all the benefits to which they are entitled.
Just Credit Union has partnered with Inbest, a leading provider in this area, to provide an easy to use and comprehensive benefit check system which will help people maximum their income. The calculator aggregates all available benefits and discounts into a personalised, user-friendly application. The calculator offers the most comprehensive range of benefits available as well as providing guidance on the specific steps needed to access the benefits. The calculator also provides a tailored list of organisations offering free and independent welfare advice.
The calculator asks a few simple questions to identify if an individual is likely to qualify for support and if they are likely to be eligible goes on to produce a fully personalised report with guidance on what to do next. The calculator also offers a  “Ëœwhat if?’ option that can help people make better decisions, particularly if they think their circumstances may change.
The Benefits Calculator can be accessed via the help and advice section of the Just Credit Union’s website or via the link below….
