Housing Benefit

Claim and calculate benefits online

Housing Benefit is paid to people on a low income who rent their home.

It can pay some or all of your rent depending on your circumstances - how much you earn, how many children you've got and so on.

Housing Benefit, and Council Tax Benefit, is paid by Manchester City Council.

Claim benefits by applying online (you can get a calculation to see what benefit you should get online too). This is the fastest way to get your claim going.

Or you can use a paper application form: download a paper benefit claim form (City Council website), or contact the Benefits Service (City Council website)
