Frequently asked questions
The requirements for receiving housing benefit depend on various factors, including income, rental costs and household size. In principle, income must be below certain limits and housing costs must be reasonable.

The following documents are usually required to check a housing benefit claim:
- Housing benefit application
- Proof of income of all household members (e.g. payslips, pension statements)
- Rental agreement or proof of encumbrance for owners
- Account statements
- Proof of the amount of ancillary costs
- If required, further documents, e.g. proof of maintenance obligations or certificate of severe disability
