Housing benefits

Could I get help with paying my rent?

If you are on a low income you may be entitled to Housing Benefit. Housing Benefit is money to help you pay your rent. The amount paid varies depending upon the amount of rent you pay, your household income and the circumstances of anyone living with you. Housing Benefit is assessed and paid by the local council.
