This housing advice booklet gives information about housing benefit and local housing allowance. It explains how to claim, how the amount you get is calculated, and how to complain or appeal if you think a decision that has been made on your claim is wrong.
The housing benefit rules are complicated and this guide is only an introduction to the law. If you need help, contact a local advice centre: use our advice services directory to find one.
