Benefits

Get information and advice about housing and council tax benefits.

Apply for:

• Second adult rebate - a council tax discount for people who share their home with an adult, who is exempt from paying council tax or has a low income
• Discretionary housing payments - a short-term payment for those who already claim benefits, but can't afford to pay the rest of their rent
• Local Housing Allowance - housing benefit for those living in privately-rented accommodation. This is based on the size of your household and the area in which you live
