Discretionary Housing Payments
To apply for discretionary housing payment, you must:
If the benefit payment amount does not cover your total
rent/council tax bill, then you can apply for this additional
payment.
Discretionary housing payments are not payments of housing
benefit and there is only a certain amount of money available each
year so it's important that you make your claim as soon as
possible.
You can apply for discretionary housing payment by downloading
and completing the discretionary
housing payment form. Or you can get a form at
any of our contact centres in Droitwich, Evesham and Pershore or contact us and we will send one
out to you.
We aim to deal with your claim within 28 days.
