Housing & Other Benefits
Housing Benefit
You may be able to get housing benefit to help pay some or all of your rent. This will depend on your income, the size of your family, how much you have in savings and what your rent is. At the moment you can ask that your housing benefit is paid directly to us. If you think you may be entitled to Housing benefit at any time during your tenancy please contact the Arrears Officer, or your supported or sheltered housing officer if appropriate, for help in completing a claim form.

Other Benefits
Many other benefits can be claimed depending on your circumstances. This covers expectant mothers, single parents, unemployment, illness and injury, retired people, people with disabilities and carers of housebound people. If you are in financial or other difficulties even though for a short period, you could be entitled to help. There is no harm in asking and it could save you a great deal of worry. CCHA staff or the Citizens Advice Bureau would be pleased to advise you.
