1. Check Which Benefits You Can Claim
Understanding the UK benefits system is not easy. Ukraine scheme holders may be able to claim some support, but rules depend on your situation.
What to do: Use a benefits calculator from the GOV.UK page to get an idea of which payments might be open to you. Then ask a support worker to check the result against your visa rules and help you plan which benefits to claim.
What do you need: You need information about your income, rent, savings, visa type and who lives in your home.
Outcomes: You will have a clearer list of benefits that fit your situation and know what to ask about or apply for.
Lifehack: Do a new calculator check if your income or family situation changes, as this can change your entitlements.
