Find out how Virgin Money uses your informationGet ready for your full calculation
Before you go through a full calculation online or over the phone, it helps to have some information ready.
You’ll need details about:
- your income – including wages, pensions, benefits, and tax credits
- your partner’s income (if you live with someone as a couple)
- any savings, investments, or other money you have
- how much you pay for rent or your mortgage
- your yearly Council Tax amount, including any discounts or exemptions
- anyone else who lives with you, such as adult children, and their income
- whether anyone gets Carer’s Allowance for looking after you or someone else in your home
Having this information ready makes it easier to give you a more detailed estimate of the benefits and support you may be able to claim.
