If you are working age and require help towards your rent you may need to claim universal credit rather than housing benefit. To check which you need to claim please see www.gov.uk/universal-credit
You can contact the benefits and revenues customer services section for a claim form to be sent to you or if you prefer we can complete the claim form with you over the telephone or in person at our office in Ripley.
You can download the housing benefit claim form or collect one from our office in Ripley.
Further housing benefit and council tax support forms are available to download individually.
Alternatively, if you call us on 01773 841470 a customer services advisor will talk you through the other options for making a claim.
Contact the team directly on 01773 841470 or email benefits@ambervalley.gov.uk
