Official guidance and entitlement information on GOV.UK

GOV.UK is the UK government's single online presence for official information about statutory entitlements and services — for example free school meals eligibility, 15–30 hours of free childcare for qualifying working parents, state pension forecasts and HMRC tax tools. Information and online application links are available to all UK residents; eligibility rules vary by programme and are explained on the relevant GOV.UK pages. Use the site to find forms, guidance and local service links.
