If you're trying to maximise your income and you think you might be eligible for income benefits.
According to Directgov, the government's citizen's advice site, you could be eligible for income benefits if you are:
- on a low income
- have dependent children
- ill or disabled
- a carer
- aged 60 or over
- experiencing bereavement
- pregnant or a new mother
