This is a more detailed assessment which will enable you to make a claim at the end. This will take slightly longer as the questions are more detailed. Once you have finished, we will contact you about your claim. You will need to provide evidence to support your claim.

Please note the potential weekly rate of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction notified at the end of the assessment is an estimate only and may not be what you are entitled to. If you are currently working the estimate will be less accurate and we will contact you about this.
