The government has introduced a service which, amongst other things, allows you to check the rate and length of your benefits awards and download proof of entitlement.
It is particularly useful at the moment for claimants who want to check their PIP award, to see if they have been given an extension before a letter arrives.
You can get proof for:
- Attendance Allowance
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for adults
- Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) – all types
- Income Support
- Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) – all types
- Pension Credit
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- State Pension
