Could you be entitled to Housing Benefit and/or Council
Tax Support?
What might happen to your existing benefit
if your circumstances change?
You can find the answers to these questions using our
online
benefits calculator which can give you an instant estimate of
what you could claim based on the information you supply.
Before you start to use the calculator you
might want to have the following information to hand:
- details of your income – for example wage slips or any benefits
or pensions you receive
- details of your capital – for example any bank accounts or
savings accounts
- the amount of your rent
- the amount of council tax you pay
If the calculator will not let you answer a
question, it may be because of an answer you have already
given. You can go back and change your previous answers.
Please remember this is an estimate
only and we cannot guarantee that this is the exact amount you
would receive.
If you want to make a formal claim you should
do so as soon as possible.
You can download a claim form using the link below. As the
benefit claim form is a .pdf document, you will need Adobe to
access the form. You may download Adobe for free by clicking here.
