Housing and Council Tax Benefit - An Overview

The amount of benefit that you can receive depends on a number of factors. Our Benefit Calculator can estimate if you will receive any benefit (help with your rent or Council Tax).  If it is estimated that you will receive something you will be asked if you want to continue to make an on-line application.

Benefit Calculator and application form

You can calculate your housing and/or Council Tax benefit using this calculator and then go on to complete the on-line application form.

Your benefit may be reduced because you have another adult living with you (other than your partner), called a non-dependent. See more information about non-dependent deductions.
