Universal Credit
Please talk to us! We are here to help.
We would much rather that you speak to us than suffer in silence. We can help you check if you are receiving all the benefits that you are entitled to, whether you qualify for any discounts on bills, refer you for specialist money advice and much more. But we can’t help if you don’t talk to us. We will only take possession action as a last resort because we want our tenants to stay in their homes.
What if I am already behind in your rent payments?
If you are in arrears you will receive a text message from Cadwyn with a unique link. Click on the link and pop in your postcode and date of birth to confirm who you are and you can see what you owe. There will be an option to pay your outstanding balance off or to pay some of your balance. If you can not afford to make a payment, you can use our income & expenditure form (via the link) to work out how much you can pay without getting in to any more financial difficulty.
If you are still unsure, please call our friendly Rents Team on 02920 498 898 for more help.
Is there any extra help out there for me – I am not sure what I am entitled to?
We have created a list of benefits/ grants and support that you may be eligible for – click here to find out if you could be getting more help.
Housing Benefit
If you are receiving Housing Benefit, you will get a payment every 4 weeks from the Council. You can tell the Council to pay your Housing Benefit directly to us. This is a service that many tenants find convenient and most of our tenants pay their rent this way.
