Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support

You can apply for help if you are struggling to pay your rent or Council Tax. 

If we accept your application, you could get: 

• a discretionary housing payment, to help towards your rent 
• a Council Tax hardship fund payment, to help towards your Council Tax 

Any help we can give you will be based on your situation. Give as much information as you can to help us make a decision.
