Housing Benefit
Claiming benefits
If you believe you may be eligible for housing benefit, you can make a claim using our online form:
Wiltshire Benefits Online - Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction (opens new window)
The application form can also be used if you are already receiving Housing Benefit and have been asked to complete a review form.
Providing evidence to support your claim
On completion of our online form, make sure you read the evidence checklist in the housing benefit download section. This details the information you need to provide to support your new claim, and it must be provided within one month. Delay in providing this evidence will delay your payment.
A full list of the documents we may ask for can be found in our council tax reduction and housing benefit evidence factsheet (OpenDocument text format, 527 KB)(opens new window)
You can contact us by email or by post with your evidence. You must include your claim reference number or National Insurance number with your evidence, and any email attachments should total less than 10mb in size.
We can only accept original evidence of identification; this can't be sent via email.
