Discretionary Housing Payment Application Form
If you are already receiving Housing or Council Tax Benefit but the benefit payment amount does not cover your total rent/council tax bill, then you can apply for this additional payment. This is a discretionary payment and there is only a certain amount available to be spent in any year. There are certain parts of your rent payments that this discretionary payment cannot help with, so please read the form carefully.
We will aim to deal with your claim within 28 days.
