Housing Benefit
Claiming Housing
Benefit in Newham
To get housing benefit you have to make a
claim in writing on one of our claim forms.
You can claim
council tax benefit at the
same time.
For an online estimate of how much Housing Benefit (and Council
Tax) you are entitled to receive, go to our
Web
Benefits Calculator .
But note that the calculator will only estimate what you will be
entitled to. It can't, for example, say whether your Housing
Benefit will be based on a rent lower than the rent you actually
pay. The best way to find out how much you will get is to make a
claim.
The form looks long, but we need to ask a lot of
questions to make sure everyone gets the right amount of
benefit. |
