New Fife Website

The rise in the cost of living is really hitting but there’s more help out there than you might think. Trying to find out what you’re entitled to, what support is on offer and where to get it can be really confusing.

A new website has been launched by Fife Council and partners where you can access a huge range of support, all in one place. With useful information, advice and contact details, links to support with energy bills, food, benefits, the family, and home, as well as health and wellbeing, so you should be able to find help that’s right for you. There’s also an online benefit checker -so you can make sure you are getting everything you’re entitled to.

Help with benefits and income support

Did you know many of us are not claiming all the benefits we’re entitled to? It’s easy to find out what you may be due – use the free and confidential benefits calculator. Enter your details and you’ll receive an estimate of the entitlements you could be getting. It’s worth checking!!
