The amount of benefit you will receive depends of four
things:
- the amount of money coming into your
household
- the amount of any savings you (and your
partner) have
- your personal circumstances, eg your children
living in your household, being disabled or anyone else who lives
with you
- the amount of rent or Council Tax you are
charged
Benefit is assessed using rules agreed by Central Government. The
benefit awarded to you is intended to help with the cost of your
rent and Council Tax, not living costs such as food and heating.
The maximum Housing Benefit that can be awarded is 100% of your
eligible rent. This may be different from the rent
you are being charged by your landlord.
