How do I change my address for my Housing Benefit claim?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

To change your address for Housing Benefit, you need to inform your local council as soon as possible. You can do this by completing a new Housing Benefit application form with your new address details. It's essential to provide any supporting documents, such as proof of your new tenancy. You may also need to update your Universal Credit or other related claims, so check the specific requirements on the official gov.uk page or contact your local council directly for assistance.
