Making a housing or council tax benefit claim

You can collect a benefit claim form from the Council Offices, or request a form by telephoning the new claims team on 01483 743847.

You can download a Housing and Council Tax benefit Claim form (HBCT1). This form should be completed and sent to Woking Borough Council Benefits Section.

You will need to provide evidence in support of your claim. If you send a form without the evidence required we will write to you to tell you what we need, we will not be able to process your claim without the supporting evidence we ask for.

Do not delay in sending the form if you have not got all the evidence available. If you do delay in sending the form you may lose benefit.

If you are unable to complete the form, or have questions about the form or the evidence you need to provide, contact the benefits section on 01483 743848 for new claims, 01483 743847 for other enquiries. Email benefits@woking.gov.uk , or visit the Council's One Stop Shop. You can also download a Housing and Council Tax benefit Claim form (HBCT1).
