Did you know you can make a new claim for Housing Benefit and Council Tax reduction quickly and easily using our online portal?

On average, new claims are processed for assessment within 1 working day when submitted through our online portal, because the information is sent directly through to our Income Maximisation and Welfare team.

In comparison, it takes roughly 10 working days for new claims or information to be processed when submitted by post or email, due to the delays in the information getting to the correct team.
