Tell us about a benefit change

You are about to tell us about a change in your circumstances affecting your housing benefit.

Do you have an account?

Usually, we ask you to create an online benefit account before you apply. But our system is overloaded at the moment because of COVID-19. If you do not have an online benefit account, please just fill out the form using the link below.

If you already have an account, you can still access your account to complete forms and view your personalised benefit information.

Ready to begin?

The application form should take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete.

You will need to have your personal and change details ready.

  • We will implement the change in your benefit claim within 10 working days if we have received all evidence required. We will contact you if we need more evidence
