When you are under 18, Bristol City Council will provide you with an allowance, as we are responsible for your care. When you turn 18 you may be eligible to apply for benefits depending on whether or not you are working, studying or training. If you're not sure please talk to your Personal Advisor and they can explore this with you.
If you are eligible to claim benefits this can sometimes be a confusing process. You can find out more at the website for the Department of Work and Pensions. Remember to always seek advice before claiming benefits as the benefits system can become complicated.
