Universal Credit is gradually being rolled out to Wolverhampton. You can still make a claim for Housing benefits.

Making an application

If you are eligible, you can apply for Housing Benefits or Council Tax Support.

If you are eligible to claim Universal Credit to assist you with housing costs you will still need to make a separate application for Council Tax Support using the same application form.

This Application Form will ask you to upload evidence to support your claim.

We may not need this evidence.

Submit the Application Form and if we need any further information we will contact you.
