The Easter holiday is the perfect time to check you are not missing out on benefits or payments
Easter bank holiday weekend is here and will see most of the country bask in some much-needed sunshine over the long weekend. While the spring break is a welcome breather from the norm for a few days, it is also the perfect time to check you are not missing out on benefits or payments.
Neil Hugh, Head of Workplace Proposition at Standard Life, part of Phoenix Group, is urging people struggling with their finances due to the ongoing cost of living crisis, to check for unclaimed payments as it “could make a difference”. Neil added: “Many people don’t realise that if you get accepted for some benefits, it can mean you are entitled to others. If you’re struggling with the increased cost of living, it’s worth checking you’re claiming any and all payments you might be entitled to - it could make a difference.”
