Our online services
The Benefits Service is part of the Department of Children's and
Community Services.
We pay housing benefit to people on low income who have
difficulty in making their rent payments. You do not have to be
getting other social security benefits before you can claim housing
benefit.
You can make a claim for housing benefit with us if you pay rent
to the City of London or pay rent to a private landlord or housing
association and live within the 'Square Mile'.
If you are claiming both
housing benefit and
council tax benefit you only have to fill out one
form.
If you are not sure whether you are entitled to claim housing
benefit you can find out more about these benefits on our
FAQ pages.
