The program for experienced advisors
The Quick Benefits Calculator enables experienced advisors to calculate entitlement to means tested social security benefits with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of speed.
Users are presented with a standard case which they modify to reflect client circumstances. The what-if? facility lets users explore a range of scenarios -- better off comparisons can be printed side by side.
Benefits covered include:
- universal credit
- pension credit
- housing benefit
- national and local council tax reduction schemes, including most English working-age schemes.
The program is updated several times each year to cover benefits up-ratings and changes in social security law. Cases stored under one set of rules and rates can be updated following a change with the minimum of user intervention.
