People who have low income in Great Britain can apply for Housing Benefit which is benefit for house given by local authorities.
Along with this benefit you will get money for paying local tax (Council Tax Benefit).
Who is Housing Benefit for?
Housing Benefit has been created for those who pay rent and have low income. Everyone who lives alone, with a partner or flatmates can apply for this support. Moreover, Housing Benefit can be given to students (there are a bit different rules though) and to people who rent a hotel room and pay rent. They will get financial benefit on condition that family income does not overrun £16.000.
How much can I get?
Housing Benefit covers part of the rent. During application investigation charges for media (gas, water, electricity, rubbish etc.) are not taken into consideration. The amount of benefit is determined individually in terms of the amount of rent and house nature. Applicant’s financial situation is also analysed in detail.
People who has more financial problems can also apply for benefit alignment for period of fifty two weeks back (backdating).
What should I attach to the application?
To get Housing Benefit you should fill in a special form and attach a string of essential documents like proof of income, rent agreement copy and payslip which prove your income height. You should also show valid ID and give National Insurance Number.
People who know less about current formalities can use a professional help.
