Housing Benefit & Council Tax Benefit

Housing Benefit (HB) and Council Tax Benefit (CTB) are income-related benefits administered by Local Authorities. People are eligible to claim HB if they are liable to pay rent (or are treated as if they were so liable) in respect of the dwelling they occupy as their home. CTB is designed to help people on low-income pay their Council Tax.
