Child benefit and assistance with council tax costs are among the estimated \u00a313 billion in benefits that go unclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to EntitledTo, around five million people are believed to be missing out on the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common benefit that goes unclaimed is council tax relief, with over three million people missing out on \u00a32.7 billion in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local councils provide council tax assistance, which can range from a discount on your bill to paying nothing at all, depending on your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around half a million families are expected to be missing out on little under \u00a31 billion in child benefit, despite the fact that some eligible families opt not to claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When parents earn more than \u00a350,000, they must refund some or all of the child benefit they get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, more than half a million low-income retirees are eligible for additional state pension supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unclaimed Pension Credit is worth \u00a31.47 billion, and individuals may get thousands of pounds per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
