AI helps understand you. Reviewed rules—not AI—produce results.

National + local

Official routes, brought together.

Rules-based

Structured criteria produce every result. AI never decides whether a support is shown.

Private by design

No account or PPS number. Answers stay in this browser unless you choose the free-text AI guide, which sends the text you submit for processing under our Privacy Notice.

Official next steps

Every result explains why it appeared and links to the responsible public body.

What we check

One conversation, several support areas.

The checker adapts to your answers and only shows follow-up questions that are relevant to your household.

1

Family and childcare

2

Health costs

3

Housing support

4

Caring responsibilities

5

Disability and illness

6

Energy and household costs

Built around the resident

More than a benefits calculator.

The aim is a safe route from “I need help” to the right national payment, council service, community organisation or trained adviser.

National + local

Bring national entitlements and council-controlled local services into one journey.

A safe hand-off

When a rule cannot answer safely, explain why and direct the resident to a person who can.

Evidence behind every result

Show the source, reason and review status instead of presenting a black-box decision.

For councils and public services

For employers
