Child Benefit: Changes to Housing and Council Tax
Benefit Claims
Great news if you receive Child
Benefit and need help with your rent or Council
Tax.
From 2 November 2009 Child Benefit will not be
counted as an income for all Housing and Council Tax Benefit
claims. So, if you did not qualify before due to high income you
may now be able to get some help.
It costs nothing to claim. For more details
please contact us on 01892 526121.
You can visit us at the Tunbridge Wells
Gateway offices at 8 Grosvenor Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells. We also
have the Weald Information Centre at The Old Fire Station, Stone
Street, Cranbrook, TN17 3HF.
