Clear Debt Solutions

Christmas over and another year still in debt.I have put together a list of benefits available which may help clear debt.Solutions are not easily found and some of the benefits you may be entitled to are not widely published. For example we found out that because my hubby is over 60 we were entitled to Pension Credit which now pays the interest on our mortgage. Also because we are entitled to the pension credit we also get council tax benefit and free prescriptions and help towards spectacles. This may not be a clear debt solution but it goes a long way to help.

Even if you are working you may be entitled to working families tax credits which can make a huge difference to your income. I also found something called healthy start which is a benefit ok its only £3 per week if you have children under 4 but if you have a child under 1 then it is £6. It is in vouchers which can be used to buy milk,fruit,veg or infant formula.
