Benefit Entitlement

Are you getting what you are due?

Tackling poverty is a key issue for Government in Northern Ireland.  We are committed to promoting benefit uptake to ensure the people of Northern Ireland receive the financial assistance and services to which they are entitled.  We do this through outreach services, participating in local promotional activity, publication of leaflets, our Departmental website and providing general assistance with advice and information though our network of local and centralised offices. In addition we have been delivering the Benefit Uptake Programme every year since 2005.
