The calculator gives you an instant estimate of how much benefit you may be entitled to, then you can choose to make a claim. Your estimate will be based on the information you've supplied.
Evidence you need to support your claim
When you complete your online claim for benefits, you may need to provide evidence of your identity, earnings or housing costs.
How long it will take
We aim to process new claims and changes in circumstances within 2 weeks.
We always strive to deal with Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support claims as quickly as we can, but it may take longer if we have to wait for your supporting evidence.
