Do you struggle to pay your rent or Council Tax because you are on a low income? Maybe you are in receipt of state benefits, disabled, off work due to sickness or caring for someone.

Are you a single person aged 60 or over whose weekly income is below £124.05 per week or a couple aged 60 or over whose weekly income is below £185.35 per week?

If you fall into any of these categories, you may be entitled to Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit.
