This section covers all aspects of work - people in work, looking for work and those who are unfit for work.

If you are working part-time or are on a low income, you may still be able to claim benefits to top up your earnings.

Working but earning little?

If you are working at least 16 hours a week but on a low income, you may also qualify for Working Tax Credit. 

Do you have any dependent children?

If you have children under 19 you may be able to get Child Tax Credit.

Close to retirement?

If you are approaching retirement age, refer to the Benefits for Pensioners section as well.
