Making a Housing Benefit claim

Make a claim

Before making a claim for Housing Benefit (HB) and/or Council Tax Support (CTS), you should check that your circumstances mean you can claim. You can do this using the entitlement calculator.

Please note that the results from the entitlement calculator should only be taken as an estimate of the amount of benefit you may be entitled to based on the information you submitted.

The evidence we may ask you for includes proof of:

  • tenancy and rent (normally a tenancy agreement)
  • earnings, including five weekly or two monthly payslips
  • benefits 
  • private pensions 
  • savings or capital, including ISA's, savings accounts, premium bonds and stocks and shares
  • bank accounts (normally we ask for two consecutive months bank statements for each account)

We will require proof of income and savings for your partner as well, if you have one.
