Better Off with Policy in Practice

5
Used the benefit calculator on a daily basis for over 3yrs as a benefits adviser and found it to be incredibly useful and informative. The questions were straightforward and the results page was excellent. I really liked being able to compare several different scenarios that I could relay to the clients. Also found I was listened to when I had to contact Policy in Practice about possible updates and changes and some were acted upon quickly and efficiently. My favourite tool for carrying out benefit checks. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025
