Situation Navigator

The navigator starts with a life situation rather than an agency name, then narrows the relevant programme family.

Why it exists

People often know the problem they are facing but not which agency or payment name to search for. The navigator maps circumstances such as job loss, disability, caring, study, ageing, rent pressure or health costs to likely support pathways.

What it does not do

It does not determine legal eligibility. It helps identify programmes worth checking and then links to payment detail and authoritative sources.

How to use it

Choose the situation closest to your circumstances, review the matching programmes, then open the detail page and verify the current rules with the administering authority.
