About Payments

Council Tax Benefit

Is paid directly into your Council Tax Account. It shows on your bill as a lump sum credit.

Housing Benefit / Local Housing Allowance

Is paid directly into a bank / building society account of your choice. Termed BACS, this method of payment is fast, secure and avoids any potential postal delays.

Benefit is paid in the main in arrears in a choice of payment frequency; fortnightly, four weekly and monthly unless we pay a landlord - payments to landlords can only be paid four-weekly or monthly in arrears.
