Housing and council tax benefit

Housing and Council Tax Benefit are available to help you meet the costs of running your home.

You may be able to claim them if you are on a low income, Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance or Pension Credit.

We've introduced a new way of working out Housing Benefit for tenants in privately rented property - find out more in our Local Housing Allowance (LHA) section.

Housing and Council Tax Benefit are specifically aimed at paying your council tax and rent and the amount you receive is dependent upon your individual circumstances.

At present our benefit operations are carried out by our partners Liberata who will run the service until 2009.
