DWP Benefits Appointee Calculator

An appointee for benefits has the legal responsibility to ensure that the person they are managing money for receives all of the benefits payments they are entitled to receive. Our benefits calculator is a free resource Money Carer provides for any DWP benefits appointee to use to ensure they claim the correct benefits for their loved one or client.

Our calculator is unique as it has been enhanced to take into account residential care home considerations and, as such, is used by many professional deputies, local authorities and charities to assist them in understanding the DWP welfare benefits system and staying on top of entitlement claiming responsibilities.

A Free Resource for Carers

At Money Carer, a huge focus of the organisation is to support the busy carers who assist vulnerable people every day. Our benefits calculator is not just a resource that appointees and deputies can use; we also encourage carers to enter their details into the calculator to ensure that they are also receiving any welfare benefit payments that they may be entitled to claim.

All information entered into the benefits calculator is completely anonymised and users can save the calculation and come back at a later date to complete things if they run out of time.
