Local authorities must review Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction claims to ensure awards are correct.

It is important you tell us straight away about any changes in circumstances for you, your partner, or anyone else who lives with you.  If you do not tell us you may lose out. If you have been awarded too much you will have to pay it back.  If your award changes, we will write to you if this affects your entitlement.

Before you begin

We will ask you to provide:

  • your details
  • partner's details (if applicable)
  • income information
  • savings and investment information

To find out how we'll handle your personal data, read our privacy notice.
