We know the benefits system can be complicated and confusing and this can put busy families off claiming.
Quids for Kids is a free benefits information service that we offer through Citizen’s Advice for families with children or young people up to the age of 21 years old with additional needs, a long term-illness or disability. It’s also open to care leavers, young homeless people, foster parents and people looking after a child with a special guardianship order.
You can help with finding our whether you are able to claim benefits, and also help with challenging benefit decisions if you think you have not been treated fairly.
The project has already helped hundreds of families with children who have special education needs and disabilities (SEND) and as a result millions of pounds of unclaimed benefits are now helping families manage the extra financial demands they experience.
However, we know that many families still do not claim the benefits they are entitled to. If this is you, please get in touch with Citizen’s Advice using their Quid for Kids referral form.
