You can apply for Pension Credit to get extra money each week.

You can apply for Child Benefit if you have one or more children in the UK with you. If successful, you’ll get £21.80 a week for your eldest or only child and £14.45 for each additional child.

You can also apply for Universal Credit. This is a benefit paid to you each month if you do not have a job, cannot work or you’re on a low income. The amount you get depends on things like if you have a child or need help with housing costs.
