Housing Benefit

Up to 380,000 people over 60 could get help with their rent but don't claim. Many older people are even eligible to have their rent paid in full. Find out if you are one of them.

The information in this section covers people who are aged 60 or more and live in the UK. If you are under 60 or normally live outside the UK it will not apply to you.

This section does not apply to people living in care homes. For information on financial help if you live in a care home see our information on Paying for Your Care Home (PDF).
