Housing benefit helps you pay your rent if you are on a low income. The amount of housing benefit you can get is worked out by looking at:

• how much money you have coming in
• your personal circumstances and the amount of rent you have to pay
• the amount of savings you have

Try these benefits calculators to see what help you can get.

Who can apply?

The scheme applies to:

• anyone paying rent
• tenants living in council property or housing association property (these tenants may be affected by under occupancy restrictions)
• tenants living in privately rented accommodation (the allowance for these tenants is known as Local Housing Allowance)
• tenants living in a hostel
