Landlord housing benefit portal

We now carry out compulsory Full Claim Reviews of our Housing Benefit claims. These will be staggered across each financial year and will affect those tenants who receive Housing Benefit, including those who occupy social housing. We will contact these tenants directly when we want to review their claim.

If your tenant(s) is selected for a review of their claim, they must comply with what we ask of them. If they do not, their Housing Benefit will end. They will be required to pay their rent from their own funds or will need to claim Universal Credit if they require financial support with their rent payments.

You can find out more about the Benefit Review process on our website.

The landlord portal allows both social and private landlords who receive payments of Housing Benefit to:

check Housing Benefit payments, this gives you a breakdown of the payments made to you for each of your tenants receiving Housing Benefit
review individual cases, you can view your next payment date and payment amount.
