Do you live in the UK & claim government support (pension or benefits)

We're always looking for people like you to share your experiences by taking part in paid market research projects. 

We know claiming government support (pensions or benefits) can be challenging for some people that is why we need your help!

By getting involved in research projects you will be helping to shape an improved process for people claiming government support and ultimately people who need support. 

A lot of different types of research sessions with people throughout the year, covering a wide range of topics such as (but not limited to) 👇

  • Universal Credit
  • Pension Credit
  • Housing Benefits
  • Maternity Allowance
  • Carers Benefits
  • Childcare Benefits
  • Child Maintenance
  • Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Working Tax Credit
  • Employment and Support Allowance
  • Bereavement Support
  • Income Support

By applying and taking part in research, your valuable thoughts and opinions will help to shape the digital experience and make it accessible to everyone.

What you can expect 👇

We run 1000+ paid research sessions throughout the year: over the telephone, online, or in person.

Some of our research projects have very specific requirements.

We value your time, so to ensure we only talk to you about research projects relevant to you our participant recruiters may be in touch from time to time, to check your details match project requirements (via an email form or telephone).

Don’t worry if you do not hear from us straight away after you have registered, when we have projects suitable for you, you will receive an email to see if you would be interested in taking part.
