Having a disability does not automatically qualify you for Housing Benefit, but it may affect how your claim is assessed. Most working-age people must claim Universal Credit for help with housing costs, although Housing Benefit may still apply in situations such as supported or temporary accommodation; people over State Pension age may also qualify. Your council will consider your rent, income, savings, household circumstances and any applicable disability-related rules. Disability benefits such as PIP are generally disregarded as income, but check the official GOV.UK guidance or ask your local council about your circumstances.
