Filling in the
form
You may not have to fill in all
parts of the form, but you must fill in the parts that apply to
you.
Housing and council tax benefit claim
form
Benefits Evidence Checklist
Each part starts with a question to help you decide if you need to
fill in that part. If in doubt, answer all the questions you
can.
If you are filling in the form by hand, we would prefer you to use
black ink. Do not use pencil. If you make a mistake, just cross it
out and put the right answer next to it. Do not use correction
fluid or tape.
Answer 'Yes' or 'No' questions by putting a tick in the relevant
box. If you are picking an answer from a list of answers, put a
tick in the relevant box. Do not put a cross in any boxes. If you
answer a question with a cross we may have to send the form back
and this will delay the claim.
If someone else fills in the form for you, there is a special
space for them to sign.
