Evidence for your Housing Benefit claim


When making a claim for Housing Benefit we will need to see documents relating to you and your partner. 

How to send us your documents

Make sure you put your name and address on any evidence you send us.

  • You can take photographs of your documents and attach them to your online application.
  • Alternatively you can contact us online and send the documents online after you have applied
  • You can also post your documents to The Benefit Assessment Team, PO Box 676, Threemilestone, Truro, TR1 9EQ. Please do not send original copies of documents

Don't delay making your claim, even if you haven't got all the evidence now.

To speed up your claim make sure we receive the evidence quickly, within the next few days if you can.

If you don't get the evidence to us within a month, we may not be able to award you anything at all.

Please tell us if you are having problems getting your evidence.
