Official government services and entitlement guidance on GOV.UK

GOV.UK is the UK government’s central website for official information and applications: it describes eligibility and application routes for free childcare hours, free school meals, statutory benefits, tax credits and state pension forecasts, and links to HMRC and local authority services. The information and online application forms are free to use; residents check eligibility and apply through the site or follow links to the relevant department or their local council.
