If you are claiming Income Support or Job Seekers
Allowance
If you are making a brand new claim or are reclaiming Income
Support (IS) or Jobseeker's Allowance JSA(IB) you must make your
claim for Housing Benefit and or Council Tax Benefit at The Job Centre.
The Job Centre will take you through the questions for any of
these benefits. This means that you will not have to fill in a
separate claim form for Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit.
If you are a private tenant you will still have to provide us
with proof of your rent paid and proof of income for anyone in your
household who is over 18. We will write to you to request this.
To claim Income Support or Job Seekers Allowance and Housing
Benefit and or Council Tax Benefit, telephone 0845 600 1302 or
visit The Job Centre.
If you are not in receipt of Income Support or Jobseekers
Allowance you can claim Housing and Council Tax Benefit by
