Get your benefit backdated

If you can show that you have a good cause for not claiming housing benefit and/or council tax support earlier you will need to complete a backdating form advising us of the date that you would like benefit to be backdated to and the reason that you have not claimed earlier. You will also need to tell us why you have not applied before and provide proof of your income, savings and household income and savings for that period.

If you would like to apply for your benefit to be backdated, please complete our online backdated benefit application form.
