How we calculate benefit and reduction
The amount of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction you receive depends on:
- your savings, investments and property
- your income
- your rent
- other adults that live with you (known as non-dependant deductions)
- your personal circumstances – this includes, your age, whether you have a partner and how many children you have
Check the benefits and financial support – GOV.UK
When you get the full amount or reduction
You will get the full amount of your eligible rent and maximum Housing Benefit if you get one of the following:
- Income Support
- Job Seeker's Allowance (Income Based)
- Employment and Support Allowance (Income Related)
- Pension Guarantee Credit
This will be minus any non-dependant deductions.
