Our approach
Government support and commercial products, never mixed
Public benefits are set by law and are always free to claim. Retirement products are sold by private companies, with fees and risks. Confusing the two can be costly, so on MaturityBenefits.com they live in separate sections, with their own labels and colours.
Government benefit
Public · free to claim- Run by a public body
- Rules and amounts set by law
- You apply directly to the official agency
Commercial product
Private · fees apply- Sold by a private provider
- Terms, charges and risks vary
- Check the provider is regulated before you buy
