Support for council tenants who are struggling financially

Our welfare reform and tenancy support team can carry out a welfare benefit health check to ensure you are receiving all the benefits you are entitled to.

They can also help you :

• make a Universal Credit claim
• apply for council tax reduction
• apply for a discretionary housing payment (if you're a tenant in rent arrears and/or at risk of eviction)
• with budgeting (and understanding priority and non-priority debts)
• apply for food bank vouchers.

Where appropriate, our team can also:

• offer basic debt advice and direct you to specialist debt advice organisations
• signpost you to employment and training providers.
