Housing Benefit Claim

Making a claim for housing benefit is done by filling in one of our forms and returning it to us.

If you think you might be entitled to housing benefit, you can contact us by phone, email or in person by visiting our office in Whelley.

You can also visit one of the local housing offices where they will be glad to help and will pass the form on to us.

Complete and return our application form below.

To help you complete your form we have produced a short guide

Or come and visit us on Moore Street East or one of our surgeries across the borough.
