Benefits

Benefits are there to help you, so it’s important to find out what you can claim and take advantage of it. If you’re unemployed and looking for work then you’re able to get job seekers allowance. Also, if you’re over 16 and on a low income, then you may qualify for some income support (see the Directgov link below). Tower Hamlets Council also provides other kinds of financial assistance, such as council tax benefits, housing benefits, EMAs, home improvement grants and legal aid.
