Great tool for helping with finances and claiming unclaimed benefits.

5
The tool for budgeting is excellent and I've also been able to advise customers who have been missing out on claiming hundreds of pounds each month. Being able to identify those who are not yet claiming UC if they will benefit more from going over early has been most useful. Reviewed on: 19th June 2023

A very useful tool

I use this all the time to calculate affordability of rent in the private sector and, provided I am given the correct information, it is very accurate. I advise my clients to use it when they find a property in the private sector, so that they know exactly what, after they have paid rent and council tax, they will have left for food, travel, bills, etc. For me, the benefits calculator is invaluable.

User Friendly

5
The policy in practice calculator is very user friendly. Having used various calculators previously, I find it simple to use, has explanation drop boxes and expert breakdowns. It so easy to use and explain things with members of the public. Easy to show comparisons of scenarios as well as comparisons of legacy benefits to UC. Nice and easy to work out work how much transitional Protection may be available. Reviewed on: 15th June 2023

Fantastic online tool

P in P has been invaluable in my role supporting and advising our tenants. It does the hard work for you, and gives you the answers and calculations immediately. As a company we subscribe and have the additional budget feature. Updates to the software are frequent and in 'real time'. I have recommended many times the free version to our customers to do a benefit check for themselves. it is one of the 3 recommended benefit calculators on the Gov.uk website.
