Housing Benefit Award Accuracy Initiative

Since 2020, we have been required by the Department for Work and Pensions to review Housing Benefit claims. 

If you have received a letter asking you to complete a review, please complete the online form below.

You may be contacted to confirm your financial circumstances so we can ensure you are receiving the right amount of Housing Benefit.
