Welfare Benefit Calculator
To help you further, we have a Welfare Benefit Calculator that you can use FREE OF CHARGE. You need to have all you income details with you to complete it properly. By using this calculator you will be given an indication of the amount of welfare benefit you may be entitled to.
It is important that if your circumstances change you repeat the calculation and you advise the agencies dealing with your claim. This could be the Housing Benefit Section at Gedling Borough Council or the Inland Revenue for Tax Credit purposes, or any other agency who pays you any benefit.
Disclaimer: The detail that is used in the calculation is based purely on the information you provide. Gedling Homes accepts no responsibility for inaccurate calculations. The calculator gives you an estimate of your potential entitlements. It does not guarantee entitlement. You must apply to the relevant agency to secure any definite entitlement.
