Housing Benefit full case review

Introduction

The Department for Work and Pensions requires Councils to perform a full review of a number of Housing Benefit awards each year to make sure the right amount of benefit is being paid.

If you have received a letter asking you to fill in a review form, your account has been selected for a full review and you need to complete this form within 14 days of receiving your letter.

You need to fill in this form to tell us about your current circumstances. We will ask about you, your household, your income and capital, the financial position of other people in the household and about your home, your rent and service charges. You will be asked to upload evidence to support your claim.

We will use the information you give us to check we have the most up to date information and are paying you the right amount of benefit.

If you have not received a letter asking you to fill in a review form you should not use this form and we will write to you when your case is selected
