Housing Benefit claim reviews

You can use this service if we have sent you a letter regarding the Housing Benefit Award Accuracy Initiative.

This initiative from the Department for Work and Pensions makes it a requirement for local authorities to conduct full reviews of Housing Benefit claims.

This means you may be contacted to confirm that the information we hold about your household, income and capital, and general financial circumstances are up to date and accurate, to make sure you are receiving the right amount of benefit.
