Confused about allowances and benefits

Here's the scoop on where to look for the absolute latest info on entitlements.

It can be hard to keep up with what allowances/ benefits/ entitlements/ payments/ schemes/ supports...(whatever you want to call them) are currently on offer, as many of these change yearly with the annual Budget. Sometimes, they even change more than that making it tough for people to know what they can fairly claim.
