In Great Britain some categories of people are entitled to financial help. The benefit paid to retired people is the state pension or retirement pension, to which women are entitled to at the age of 60 and men at 65. Anyone below the retirement age of 65 who has previously worked for a certain minimum period of time can receive unemployment benefit (known colloquially as the dole).
Women who leave work to have a baby receive maternity pay from their employer. Women who do not qualify for this, for example, the self-employed, receive a maternity allowance from the government
A woman whose husband dies before he retires, receives a widow's pension if she is aged 45 or over. If she has children, she receives a widowed mother's pension.
Some people are entitled to neither pension nor unemployment benefits (because they haven't previously worked for long enough or because they have been unemployed for a long time). These people can apply for income support and if they have no significant savings, they will receive it.
Child benefit is a small weekly payment for each child, usually paid directly to mothers. Other examples are housing benefit (distributed by the local authority, to help with the rent payments), sickness benefit, and death grants (to cover funeral expenses).
Family credit is for working families on modest incomes. Income support is for those without work and with low financial resources.
There is also a mobility allowance available to the disabled to pay for transport or to buy a special vehicle. Invalidity pension is paid to a person who is unable to work after a sickness period.
