Official government guidance and public services on GOV.UK

GOV.UK is the UK government's central website offering free access to official services and information — from applying for free childcare hours and free school meals to checking your state pension forecast and using HMRC online tools. Most guidance and online forms are available to UK residents at no charge; eligibility for particular benefits or schemes is explained on the relevant GOV.UK pages and you can apply or check eligibility directly via the site.
