Government changes to housing benefit will affect some people from April 2013. Council tax benefit ended on 31 March 2013 and has been replaced by the Council Tax Reduction scheme, from 1 April 2013.
The council does not deal with claims for other benefits such as Income Support or Job Seekers Allowance - these are dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or your local Jobcentre Plus.
