Neurodivergent Recognition 

These aren't diagnostic instruments. They're starting points — ways of noticing a pattern, putting language to something, or working out whether a conversation with a clinician might be worth having. A high score doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. A low score doesn't mean you imagined it.

Dissociation Screens

These screens aren't a diagnostic tool but they can be useful in thinking about whether dissociation is part of your presentation.

Money, Housing and Food

 

Benefits & welfare

​

Turn2Us benefits calculator — free, anonymous, no login required. Tells you what you may be entitled to and how much. Worth doing even if you think you already know, and worth redoing every six months as rates change.

EntitledTo benefits calculator — a second independent calculator. Worth running both, as they sometimes differ.

Citizens Advice — benefits — for when you need a human to explain it, or help understanding a letter or decision. Free, nationwide, and covers Universal Credit, PIP, housing benefit and more.

Benefits and Work — the most thorough resource for PIP and ESA applications and appeals, written for claimants not professionals. Free newsletter and forum; detailed guides require a small membership fee but are worth it if you're navigating an assessment or appeal.

Turn2Us grants search — as well as benefits, Turn2Us searches charitable grants you may be able to apply for. Often overlooked and genuinely useful.

​

Debt & money

​

StepChange — free debt advice, online or by phone (0800 138 1111). Non-judgmental, practical, and fee-free. The largest debt charity in the UK and consistently recommended.

National Debtline — free and independent debt advice by phone, webchat, or their online tool My Money Steps (available 24/7). Strong on self-help resources and sample letters if you'd rather manage it yourself.

Citizens Advice — debt and money — debt helpline: 0800 240 4420, open Monday to Friday 9am–8pm, Saturday 9:30am–1pm.

​

Housing

​

Shelter — get help — free housing advice online, by webchat, or emergency helpline for homelessness, eviction, disrepair, or being at risk. The advice pages cover most situations clearly; the helpline is for emergencies. Note: the helpline can be busy — try the online advice pages first if the situation isn't acute.

Shelter — housing advice pages — rights, renting, eviction, repairs, council housing. One of the most comprehensive free housing resources in the UK. Updated May 2026 to reflect the new Renters' Rights Act.

Citizens Advice — housing — renting, council tax, homelessness, problems where you live.

Food

Trussell Trust — find a food bank — postcode search for your nearest food bank. Most require a referral voucher, which can come from a GP, social worker, Citizens Advice, or other local agencies — the food bank's own page will list who can refer in your area.
