Help for home owners

 
Are you a home owner struggling to make ends meet? There may be benefits available to you.

Many home owners miss out on extra weekly income because they do not know they can claim. The benefit system is complex and can be difficult to understand. Don’t assume that you cannot claim extra help because you own your home.

For example, you may be able to get help towards:

  • housing costs - including interest payments on your mortgage or home loan, ground rent and some service charges
  • Council Tax
  • repairs and home improvements.
Download our 'Do You Own Your Home' leaflet for information on the main benefits you may be able to claim. (pdf, 831kb)

Depending on your circumstances there may be other help available to you.
