We will be carrying out maintenance work on our online system for Council Tax, Benefits and Business Rates from 9am to 5:30pm on Saturday 23 November. This means it will be unavailable during some of this period. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Find out if you can claim and how much you might get
How much Housing Benefit you might get depends on:
- what your eligible rent is and if you have any spare rooms, if you rent from a housing association
- the Local Housing Allowance, if you rent from a private landlord
- where you live, when you moved in and the size of your property
- your income and savings
- your partner's income and savings
- the other people who live with you
You can use our benefits calculator to find out if you can claim and how much Housing Benefit you could get.
You may also be able to claim Council Tax Reduction if you’re claiming Housing Benefit.
