Benefits Latest News

Housing Benefit legislation has recently changed for families with foster children. Previously we have been unable to include foster children for bedroom-rate purposes and a change of legislation is due to be announced in the Autumn which will allow them to be included.   This could increase your entitlement to Housing Benefit.   Please contact us if this applies to you.

As the school summer holidays are now well underway it is important that you let us know if your child care has changed due to the school holidays.

You must also let us know if your Child Benefit is due to end because a child is leaving full-time education.
