Increasing income can be difficult, so you need to ensure that you are obtaining all funds owed to you and benefits. It maybe you can get rid of surplus items you no longer want or need – these could be sold via an online auction site and can bring in some much needed income.

If you are employed and can take on overtime you could look to see if this would help to stabilise your finances until you can put in place longer term fixes. You do however need to be aware that any increase in your earnings may impact on any benefits you are receiving.

Tax                  

Ensure that you have the correct tax code, and are getting relief on work related expenses, if appropriate. If you have children, have you claimed the Children's Tax Credit? Check with your local H M Revenue and Customs Office for more information.

Benefits        

Ensure that you are receiving all benefits you may be entitled to. The majority are means tested so will vary subject to your earnings. Check with the local Department for Work & Pensions.
