You normally claim Housing Benefit through your local council in Wales, which will ask for details about your rent, income, savings and household. Most working-age tenants must claim Universal Credit for help with housing costs instead, but Housing Benefit may still apply if you live in supported or temporary accommodation. People who have reached State Pension age may usually claim Housing Benefit, subject to the rules. Check your council’s website or GOV.UK for the correct application route and use a benefits calculator to explore what support you might receive.
