Make a claim for housing benefit
From 2 May 2018 Universal Credit has been fully rolled out in North Tyneside. This is a government benefit that has replaced Housing Benefit for most working age claimants, so if none of the above circumstances apply you are not eligible for Housing Benefit and you need to make a claim for Universal Credit to help pay your rent.
See Universal Credit for more information.
