Rent arrears due to a housing benefit claim issues

If you have rent arrears because of problems with your housing benefit claim, there are a number of things you may be able to do to stop the situation getting worse.

  • Check your housing benefit claim is up to date

The council usually sends you a renewal form at regular intervals if you already claim housing benefit.

You must complete the renewal form and send it back in time. Include all the information the council asks for.

If you don’t do this, your housing benefit could stop and you could be at risk of eviction due to rent arrears.

Report changes in circumstances

You must tell the council about any change of circumstances in your situation, such as a change in your income or someone moving in with you.

If you don’t update your claim, you could miss out on the extra housing benefit you might be entitled to or could get paid too much. You would have to pay back any housing benefit overpayment.
