What if a change is causing me hardship?

Social Security Law governs the amount of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit you are entitled to. However, the Council is sometimes able to provide addition help for anyone who is not entitled to receive full benefit. If you think that your circumstances are causing you hardship please see our Discretionary Housing Payments page.
