If you are unemployed or on a low income and need help with paying your rent and council tax, you may be entitled to Housing and Council Tax Benefit.
How do I claim?
Housing and Council Tax Benefit is administered by West Dunbartonshire Council. For information and application forms please come in to the office at 430a Dumbarton Road, or contact our Housing Management team on hm@trafalgarha.co.uk or 0141 952 4676.
How is it paid?
Housing Benefit can be paid direct to Trafalgar Housing Association or paid to you by cheque or into your bank. If you choose to have it paid to you, it is your responsibility to ensure that you use it to pay your rent.
Trafalgar Housing Association can offer you advice and assistance. We will help you complete your application form and ensure all the relevant information is provided to allow your claim to be assessed. We will also estimate how much housing benefit you qualify for and tell you how much rent you have to pay.
