Help with Housing Costs
There are various types of help with housing costs to which you may be entitled. People on low incomes who pay rent may be able to claim Housing Benefit. Owner-occupiers and tenants on low income may be able to claim Council Tax Benefit. (See Money Matters section for details of these and other benefits). Grants may be available towards the cost of essential housing repairs, improvements, adaptations and energy saving measures (see “Better Homes Better Health”, “Disabled Facilities Grant” and “Housing Repairs and Maintenance” entries in this section).
