Housing and Council Tax Benefit - Backdated Claims
If you are entitled to benefit, it is normally only paid from the Monday following the date that the Council receives your application form. Benefit cannot normally be backdated, so it's important that you return your claim form to us straight away.
If you wish to claim backdated benefit you will have to show 'continuous good cause' as to why you did not claim earlier, and this reason must apply for the whole period you want benefit to be backdated for.
Please contact us using the details on the right if you wish to discuss a claim.
