BENEFITS SURGERIES

The Benefits Service holds surgeries at all of the Council's Housing Offices, in an effort to make its services accessible to the whole community.

At the surgeries you will be able to discuss all aspects of your Housing and Council Tax Benefit claim or potential claim. You can also complete your claim using the online claims system and a Benefits trained officer will be there to help you.
