Welform Reform: changes to your benefits
From April 2013, the
government is introducing major changes to Housing Benefit. We
understand these changes will affect a large number of residents,
and we’re here to help. This section of our website is full of
information to help you understand how the changes to benefits may
affect you.

| If you have at least one spare
bedroom, the government may not pay full Housing Benefit for your
home. |

The government
is limiting the total amount of benefit you can receive. This
may leave you facing a shortfall. |
