You could get help with your rent and council tax.
Are you one of the 3000 families in Kirklees who are missing out by not claiming benefit they are entitled to?
From November 2009 the way housing and council tax benefit is calculated has changed. The child benefit you receive is no longer counted as income. You are now more likely to qualify for help if you are on a low income.
You will not qualify if you have savings or capital of £16,000 or more.
Do you already claim housing and or council tax benefit?
If 'Yes' you do not need to do anything. We will calculate your new entitlement and write to you to let you know how this affects you.
Have you recently applied for benefit and didn't qualify?
You may gain from this change and you can apply again.
If you think you might qualify you can estimate your benefit entitlement by using our on-line benefit calculator or contact us on 01484 414950 for a claim form.
