Making a claim for housing and/or council tax benefit has never been easier. You can apply or obtain information in the following ways:
- You can make a claim online:
- Firstly you can see what the benefits system is all about by reading our leaflets which can be downloaded to your pc.
- Once you have read about the benefits system you can see whether you qualify by using the QuickCalc facility.
- If you think you might qualify for benefit you can complete your claim on line using the intelligent form.
- Once you have made your on line claim we will email you when your claim has been processed and you can check this website again to see when you will be paid and how much you will receive. That's all there is to it. Claiming and receiving benefit has never been easier or quicker.
- If you prefer to use more traditional methods of claiming you can telephone the Council's benefits service on 01483 444884. Our staff will be happy to explain what you need to do.
The telephone lines are open during office hours Monday to Thursday from 8.30am to 5.00pm and 8.30 to 4.30pm on Fridays.
