Housing benefit

If you are on a low income we may be able to help. If you qualify for Council Tax benefit, we will assess this at the same time as your rent. To get a rough idea of whether or not you qualify for housing benefits follow the link below to our benefits calculator.

Remember this calculation is an estimate based on the information you supply and is a guide only. The result is not binding on the Council. If you need help to complete this form please call the benefits advice line, number below or email, details below.

If it looks like you will qualify and you want to make a claim, you can obtain a claim form by either ringing the helpline or by following the link to Benefits claim form below. 

The Citizens Advice Bureau offer advice on line about housing benefit, follow the link below.
