Backdating
The date of claim is the date we receive your application form. Sometimes we can pay benefit from
an earlier date if you have a good reason for not claiming earlier.
If you want us to consider backdating your claim for Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Reduction
to an earlier date, tell us what date you would like this to be and why you did not make a claim
from this date at the time.
Housing Benefit
The maximum period allowed for backdating is 3 months if you are a pensioner or 6 months if you
are of working age. If backdating is allowed, generally your entitlement will start from the Monday
following the revised claim date. Therefore if you want your benefit to start on a Monday your
revised claim date must be in the week prior.
Council Tax Reduction Scheme
Please note the maximum period allowed for backdating is 3 months if you are a pensioner and
3 months if you are of working age. If backdating is allowed generally your entitlement will start
from the date of your request (up to a maximum of 3 months).
