Overview
The amount of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support you get depends on:
- the applicable amount (the amount of money the government thinks you need to meet your basic needs)
- other adults who live with you
- your savings, investments and property
- your income
- your rent (Housing Benefit only)
- your weekly amount of Council Tax (Council Tax Support only)
Until we have all the necessary information and evidence to process your claim, we cannot tell you exactly how much benefit you will get.
