Housing Benefit
If you have a low income, you may be entitled to housing benefit to help with your housing costs. The amount of housing benefit you receive depends on your individual circumstances and takes in to account:
- income and savings
- who lives in your household
- the amount of rent you are charged
Your housing officer can help you fill in a housing benefit form.
For more information on making a claim, go to your local council’s website. The website will also have a housing benefit calculator that you can use to work out if you are entitled to housing benefit.
Click onto the Useful Links page for details of your council’s website.
You can also get more advice on benefits from the Citizens Advice Bureau or your local Department for Work and Pensions. Details are on our Useful Links pages.
