Housing Benefit
Housing benefit award accuracy initiative
If you claim Housing Benefit, we are required to review the information we hold about you. This is done as part of a scheme called the Housing Benefit Award Accuracy Initiative and is to make sure that you are getting the right amount of Housing Benefit.
We will contact you in order to check that the following information we hold about you is correct and up to date:
- your household
- your income and capital
- your general financial circumstances
If you receive a letter about a Housing Benefit Award Accuracy Review, you will need to complete our online review form below and upload any evidence that is required. Failure to complete the review form and provide any supporting documents may result in your claim being suspended or cancelled.
Before you start the online review form, you will need the following information:
- Your national insurance number
- Your housing benefit claim reference number – you will find this on your review letter or on any housing benefit notifications
- Full details of your income and expenditure
