Flawless Service

I cannot recommend this company highly enough absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Every interaction has been professional, efficient, and genuinely customer-focused. The site goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. The quality of service is exceptional, with clear communication throughout and a real attention to detail that sets them apart. Any questions or concerns were handled quickly and with care, giving complete confidence in the process. It’s rare to come across a business that consistently delivers at such a high standard, but this is definitely one of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again in the future and will be recommending them to others without hesitation. A truly 10/10 experience. Reviewed on: 14th April 2026

Great for benefit calculations

We use this in a large housing association and it is useful for day to day advice needs - update regularly and also respond well when there are issues or errors. It is useful for comparing scenarios and being able to print out scenarios for customers or email them a link to access the calculations. Reviewed on: 14th April 2026

A great tool

I have used this many time to help my participants see how they could be better off in work than on benefits, all in all it provides a great comparison with the abilities to look in depth at what people are eligible for. Reviewed on: 14th April 2026

A Really Worthwhile Initiative

I'm an academic who studies poverty and policies to reduce it in the UK. Policy in Practice has made a major contribution in this field and will continue to do so. Reviewed on: 14th April 2026

very good to find out your entitlements

very good to find out your entitlements and what can be offered to you, great if you are unsure of what support is available. Lots of people are unsure if they go into work, what the impact would be on them financially, BOC will help you to understand what the impact will be, what working X amount of hours will result in and what to discuss at the job centre. A good trick is to complete everything in full and go onto 'change your earnings' at the end, here you can add hypothetical hourly pay and weekly hours worked to see how much better off you would be in work.
