Help paying your rent

To check if you're eligible for help with rent, we’ll look at the difference between your rent and your Housing Benefit, or Housing Element award.

Help paying your Council Tax

To check if you're eligible for help with Council Tax, we’ll look at whether you've been affected by some aspect of Stockport’s Local Council Tax Support scheme.

If this has reduced your award or stopped you from qualifying, you may be eligible.
