Best answers:

• There's a whole load of things in the 'Money saving for carers' thread. That is mainly to do with DLA / carers allowance benefits etc so it depends on what sort of benefit some-one is on.
• Worth checking out with local council if they have any schemes for reduced or free home insulation.
  Some local authorities also offer reduced/free access to council run leisure centres for swimming & gym.
  Free dental care on some benefits oh & eye tests and vouchers towards glasses.
  refund of cost of travelling to hospital again on some benefits.
  Free school dinners and uniform allowance, strict criteria for uniform allowance, usually a small amount for first year of secondary school.
  Free/reduced costs of course at college & university
