Advice and benefits

This section includes information on:

If you would like to claim housing or council tax benefit then you will need to complete an application form:

It is important to return the form as soon as possible as benefit will usually be paid from the Monday after we receive your application.

You will also need to provide evidence of your income, savings and rent.

Do not wait until you have all the proof asked for on the form; this can be sent separately.
