Housing benefits

Introduction

Claiming and receiving housing benefit

Who can claim:

  • you must usually be resident in the property
  • you must occupy the property as your home
  • you must be required to pay rent for the property

Single, full-time students, or couples who are both students do not qualify unless they or their partner are disabled, have dependent children, or are in receipt of income support. However, non-student partners of a student can make a claim.
