Housing Benefit

Housing Benefit can help you pay your rent if you’re unemployed, on a low income or claiming benefits.  It is being replaced by Universal Credit.

You can only make a new claim for Housing Benefit if you meet certain conditions.

If you are currently on Housing Benefit and you have a change in your circumstances this may result in having to claim Universal Credit.
