UK Benefit Forms Structured Dataset

A structured dataset of 120 UK government benefit and legal forms, extracted and processed for use in AI-assisted form-filling applications. Built as part of the EasyClaimAI project.

Why This Dataset Exists

Millions of people in the UK struggle with complex government forms — benefit claims, legal applications, pension forms. The language is dense, the guidance is buried, and mistakes can cost people money or delay vital support.

This dataset was created to train AI models that can genuinely help people understand and complete these forms accurately — particularly those with limited literacy, disabilities, or who simply find the bureaucratic language overwhelming.

How to Help

This dataset is a starting point. There are gaps:

• Some forms have UNKNOWN as the form_id — if you can identify them from the question text, please open an issue
• Welsh language forms were excluded — contributions for Welsh forms welcome
• Some guidance notes are sparse — improvements to the extraction pipeline welcome
• Additional UK government forms not yet included — particularly Universal Credit, PIP, ESA full forms

If you work in welfare rights, benefits advice, or government services and want to contribute or use this dataset, please get in touch via the dataset repository.
