BRITS struggling with the cost of living can now find out what benefits they're entitled to
The government has introduced a new benefits checker tool which helps people find the financial support they need like Universal Credit
Since the cost of living soared this winter, costs of bills are now rising to an eye-watering £2,800
The new benefit checker tool is free to use on the gov.uk website and you only have to answer a few questions

The biggest benefit going unclaimed is council tax support, with nearly three million missing out on £2.7billion between them
