Official government services and entitlements (GOV.UK)

GOV.UK is the central hub for free official information and online services: check eligibility for free childcare hours and free school meals, apply for Universal Credit or other benefits, get HMRC guidance and view a State Pension forecast. The site is free to use for UK residents and those eligible to claim benefits or public services; access requires creating government sign-in accounts for some services. Visit https://www.gov.uk and search the topic you need to access guidance and online forms.
