Paying Housing Benefit to you
We will normally pay Housing Benefit into your bank account. To do this, we need your bank details. If
you have any queries about bank accounts, please contact us on 020 8430 2000.
We will sometimes make the first payment to your landlord.
Unless you are the tenant of a registered social landlord or the tenant of a charitable or voluntary
organisation we will usually be unable to pay Housing Benefit to your landlord even if you ask us to.
However, we can consider paying your landlord in certain circumstances. If you want to know more
about when we can pay your landlord, please refer to the accompanying form “Paying your landlord”.
