We have completed the benefits system upgrade but there may still be some delays whilst we process our backlog of requests. Find out about the upgrade and what may have changed for you.

Benefits

Help to pay your rent

If you are unemployed or on a low income, there are benefits you can get to help pay the costs of where you live.

If you get benefits for housing, you must tell us if there are any changes that may affect how much money you get.

If you have been paid too much in benefits, find out how to pay back the money.

How a tenant's Housing Benefit may be paid directly to you, and how to tell us about any changes that affect how much money they get.

You have been requested to complete a Housing Benefit review form.

If you know anyone who is being paid housing benefits they should not get, let us know.
