What is it for?
Who is it for?
If you have little money or a small salary, you may be entitled to housing benefit.
If you have a high salary, you will not be entitled to it.
It is paid according to your housing situation:
– If you are single or in a couple, with a dependant, in subsidised accommodation which you rent (most HLM accommodation is subsidised)
– If you have bought a house or flat and borrowed money from the bank, you may be entitled to housing benefit.
When should you apply?
How do I know if I am entitled to housing benefit?
I am a tenant!
1) Ask your landlord/owner if the accommodation is subsidised.
2) If the accommodation is subsidised, you can do a simulation on the website :
