In partnership with Access 2 Benefits (A2B), Citizens Advice provides an online calculator to help people identify which social security benefits, or additional benefits, they may be entitled to.

The calculator now covers not only those benefits relating to the over 60's but a comprehensive range of benefits available to persons living and/or working within Northern Ireland, along with other passported entitlements. 

Click here... for more detailed information relating to individual benefits available to people within Northern Ireland.

The online calculator may not be suitable for everyone and is published on this web site for guidance purposes only. To confirm any potential benefits that may result from this online calculation, along with associated payments, you will need to contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau and have a qualified adviser undertake a full benefits check.

In addition, if you are in one of the following groups: prisoners; non-UK nationals; students; under-18s; or, those permanently in residential care or nursing home, you will also need to contact your local CAB for further advice.
