Episode Details

A free online tool called the Better Off Indicator has already helped families snag over £115 million in extra financial support since launching last year, revealing an average of £555 more per month for eligible households. Built with Policy in Practice, it’s now available to Virgin Money customers too — not just Nationwide users — and can be accessed online, via app, phone, or branch. Over 17,000 households have already used it to uncover hidden benefits. Designed for those uncomfortable with tech or hesitant to ask for help, it tackles the UK’s growing financial pressure — especially for parents worried about making ends meet. With an estimated 7 million households missing out due to ignorance or stigma, this expansion through Nationwide’s vast network (serving roughly one in three UK households) is a major step toward helping more people claim the support they’re entitled to.
