INDIVIDUALS and families in Dorset are being encouraged to check online for the range of financial support available from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to help with living costs.

HMRC has listed the support available in one place to ensure people are not missing out and can easily find out online if they are eligible and how to claim.

The new GOV.UK page pinpoints people to a one-stop shop of all the benefits, credits and allowances available.

This includes: Child Benefit; Tax-Free Childcare; Marriage Allowance; Work-related expenses and uniform allowances.

The page also includes guidance for those on a low income wanting to make the most of their savings and help for those struggling to pay their tax bill.

Myrtle Lloyd, Director General Customer Services Group, HMRC, said: “We’d encourage those who think they may be eligible for support to take a look and claim what they’re entitled to.”
