Who can claim?
Anyone can claim, but there are no circumstances in which a person is automatically entitled to Housing Benefit.
The main conditions that need to be satisfied are:
- the tenant lives in the dwelling as their home, and
- the tenant has to pay rent, and
- the tenant's income or capital are not too high.
More information is available on the Housing Benefit page.
