What Benefits Does It Check?

This tool covers the most common NHS and government support schemes for women and families:

  • Healthy Start — weekly vouchers for milk, fruit & vitamins
  • Free NHS prescriptions — MATEX certificate & medical exemptions
  • Sure Start Maternity Grant — £500 for your first baby
  • Warm Home Discount — £150 off winter electricity bills
  • Free NHS dental care — during pregnancy & after birth
  • Prescription Prepayment — if you don’t qualify for free

Who Should Use This Benefits Checker?

It’s designed for UK women who are:

  • Pregnant or have children under 4 years old
  • Receiving Universal Credit, Tax Credits, or on a low income
  • Living with a long-term health condition like diabetes or epilepsy
  • Aged under 16 or over 60
  • Unsure what help you’re entitled to from the NHS or government

Please note: This checker gives you an estimate based on 2025/26 rules. Eligibility can change, and some benefits depend on your exact income or savings. Always confirm with gov.uk or nhs.uk before applying.

Why Are UK Households Missing Out?

According to Policy in Practice, UK families miss out on over £19 billion in unclaimed benefits each year. Many people don’t apply because:

  • They don’t realise they qualify
  • The application forms seem too complicated
  • They worry about giving personal details to third-party sites

Our checker solves that. It’s instant, private, and links you straight to the official gov.uk application pages — no middlemen, no spam.
