Some apps collect general information about government benefits, loan calculations or utility bills. They are guides, not official services.
What these apps cannot do
- They cannot apply for a benefit, approve a claim or move money for you.
- They cannot see your official account.
- Rules and amounts change. A guide can be out of date.
How to verify
- Find the official government or provider website yourself. Do not follow a link inside an app to enter personal details.
- Compare any figure, date or eligibility rule against that site.
- Never pay a fee to “unlock” a benefit. Official applications are normally free.
- Never share bank details, national ID numbers or passwords with an information app.
