DWP estimates £19bn in unclaimed state support, emphasizing eligibility checks for additional financial support.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) estimates £19bn in state support went unclaimed last year, highlighting the importance of individuals checking their eligibility for additional financial support. Low-income earners, those with long-term health conditions or disabilities, families, and individuals of State Pension age may be eligible for extra benefits, potentially boosting their income by up to £3,900. A 10-minute online benefit calculator can determine eligibility, and it's important for applicants to initiate the application process themselves.
