Do you pay Council Tax or Rent?

We may be able to help you pay these bills...

Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit are designed to help you pay your bills. You do not have to be receiving other benefits in order to get help with these bills. You could be working or self-employed or receiving a pension from a former employer.

The amount of benefit that you could receive will depend on the following factors:

  • the amount of money you have coming in each week
  • your savings
  • the amount of rent and/or Council tax you pay
  • the number of people living in your home
