Housing and Council Tax Benefits

 

We operate the housing and council tax benefit scheme on behalf of the government. The scheme is defined by legislation.

 

We do not have any discretion with regard to the rules governing entitlement or the amount of any subsequent entitlement.

 

These pages are intended to give an indication of the rules and limitations that we have to use when calculating entitlement.

 

Local Housing Allowance

Changes to housing benefit for tenants of private landlords (from April 2008).
