Are you receiving Housing Benefit?
Any tenants in receipt of housing benefit are reminded that they must notify their Housing Officer and the Local Authority immediately of any changes in their circumstances which may affect their entitlement to benefit. Some examples of this are: returning to work, changes in household composition and changes of income / state benefits. The Housing Management team are available to offer advice and guidance to assist tenants to maximise their benefit entitlement and to help prevent rent arrears accruing.
