This describes calculator limits, not whether you can receive support.

If essentials are at risk, seek help today. Contact the provider if a bill cannot be paid; use free advice to work through the options.

For an ordered plan, see what to do when your income has dropped. Support depends on your circumstances, location and current scheme rules. Routes reviewed: 6 October 2026.
