Housing rents and benefits

This section provides information about how, where and when tenants can pay their rent; what to do if you have a problem paying your rent and what types of benefits are available. 

 

Rents and benefits links

Welfare Reform Act 2012

The Government is bringing in major changes to how the welfare benefits system works. The changes may affect the benefit you get and the way you pay your rent.

 

To help explain things we have put together a welfare reform information leaflet which summarises the main issues affecting your rent payments. A copy will be posted out with your new payment card for 2012/2013.

There are a number of other benefit changes due to take place over the coming years. To find out more visit turn2us (external link)
