One of the key steps toward getting your finances in order is working out a detailed budget – looking at your incoming and outgoing money, and an important part of this is looking at what benefits you may be eligible for and ensuring you claim for them.
In this section you’ll find our budget planner, alongside lots of useful information about the various types of benefits and government support available.
Benefit Checks
If you’re wondering how much benefit you may be entitled to both North East Lincolnshire and Boston Borough Council provide benefit calculators to help you find out.
The calculator allows you to enter your details and calculates your benefit entitlement, giving you an instant online benefits estimate.
If you have any queries about your entitlement to Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction please contact your council’s benefit team or speak to your housing income or engagement officer as soon as possible. We can help you work out how best to manage your situation.
