A rounded debt advice usually involves consideration and advice on welfare benefit. Welfare benefits serve as a safety net for those who are unable to meet basic necessities either due to unemployment or low income.

There are different welfare benefits and they are broadly categorized as means-tested benefit and non-means-tested benefit.

Means-tested benefits are those benefits where an assessment of the applicant’s needs, income and capital is necessary to work out whether the applicant is eligible for it.
