2. Evidence we need to see
As part of your claim we need to see:
- Original documents - photocopies are not acceptable.
- We will need to see proof of who you are – this could be a passport or driving licence.
- We will also need to see evidence of your National Insurance Number, such as a P60, pay slip, National Insurance card or your benefit book.
Other information we will need to see will depend on your circumstances.
Here's a handy checklist to help you.
Things to remember
- Hand your application in as soon as you can
- Provide all the supporting evidence, we cannot pay your benefit until we have seen all the evidence we have asked for.
- Use the same form to claim help towards Council Tax Reduction.
- You won't get any benefit if you don't claim.
