Always on hand to help. Very easy to use calculator. Useful tool to work out where we can obtain support and save money. I would definitely recommend the calculator. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

The best source for understanding benefit entitlement

5
We used the Policy In Practice calculator as part of a piece of analysis for DFN Project Search, a charity that helps place young adults with disabilities into work placements. We were evaluating the value that DFN generate as a result of their programmes, and to do so we used the Better Off Calculator to understand what benefits these individuals would be entitled to a) absent employment, and b) when they were in full time work. The team and calculator were fantastic and made a huge difference to our work, as we could not find a better source out there for this information! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

Couldn't be without it!

I use the calculator on a daily basis in my role and I could not be without it! Having that support, security and clarity from the results when your brain isn't quite keeping up is a huge relief. The easy to follow process of the pages is constantly offering additional information throughout and make the tool easy to navigate for professionals and individuals alike. The chat facility and support from the platform has always been a positive experience keeping me well informed at all times and outcomes being reached in a timely manner. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

Responsive staff team
