Help with paying your rent

From time to time we all need a little financial help. The benefit system can provide short or long term help depending on your circumstances. The benefit system can be very confusing especially because the government are introducing a lot of changes at the moment.

We have a Money Advice Tool which will help you check how much benefit you should be getting. You can share the results with us…or not, the choice is yours. We hope you find the tool easy to use and of use to you.

The Money Advice Tool can be a bit confusing and so please feel free to call us on 0333 400 8222 if you need any help or advice to use the tool and claim the benefits you are entitled to.

And remember, if you are unable to pay your rent you must talk to us, we are here to help, so please phone the contact centre and ask to speak to your customer accounts team.

Financial Wellbeing - how we can help

  • We can carry out a full benefit check to identify the benefits you are entitled to.
  • We can help you apply for all the benefits you are entitled to. Whether it is benefit related to paying your rent, helping you during periods of unemployment or helping you manage due to illness or disability, we are here to help.
  • We can help you understand how benefit is worked out and how much better off you could be if you were able to find work.
  • We can support you in appealing against benefit decisions and sanctions
  • We can help with budgeting to make your money go further
  • We can help you set up and manage a bank account and we can show you how you can save money with the Government’s Help to Save scheme, potentially giving you a bonus to add to your savings.
  • We can offer you help using the internet, allowing you to find good offers and make your money go further.
  • And if we can’t help, for example with managing debts, we can refer you to local services that can help.
