Housing and Council Tax Benefits

How your benefit is worked out

 

If you get Income Support, Income-based Job seekers Allowance or Pension Credit, you will get the maximum rent restrictions or maximum council tax less any non-dependant deductions.

 

We will calculate a weekly income from all the income you tell us you have. We will assume you have an income if you have any savings over £3,000 or £6,000 if you are aged 60 or over. We will compare this income to the amount the government says you need to live on.
