Housing and other benefits
Can I get help to pay my rent?
This is often possible. The council runs a housing benefit scheme. Housing benefit helps you pay your rent if you and your family have a low income or get other state benefits.
You can get advice about housing benefit by visiting any local council office or by contacting us.
You will need to give some details of your family and financial circumstances. We will treat any information you give in confidence.
How do I know if I qualify for housing benefit or other benefits?
Call into your local council office or contact us and we will check to see if you can claim housing benefit.
We can also tell you about other benefits you could claim. A free welfare benefits check is available from our own expert money adviser or our website.
