If your income is low you may qualify for help with your Rent and Council Tax.

We now have an online benefits calculator which you can use to provide an estimate of how much Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit you may be able to get. You can also use it to check to see what will happen if your circumstances change.

If you are already claiming, you must still write to us about the change straight away.

PLEASE REMEMBER!
 
The online calculator just provides an estimate using the information you supply and may not be the actual amount of benefit you are entitled to.
 
If you have any queries or would like to make a claim, contact the Benefits section and we will send an application form to you.
