Who can claim Housing and Council Tax Benefit?
- Anyone who has to pay council tax can claim Council Tax Benefit
- Anyone who has to pay rent can claim Housing Benefit
In some cases, even though someone has to pay rent/council tax, they are not always entitled to either Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit, for example some categories of students.
If you have capital/savings over £16,000 you will not qualify for Housing / Council Tax Benefit.
