Government Welfare Reform

We’ve all seen the news, the Government is planning to make a lot of changes to Welfare Benefits. If you are a WPH tenant claiming benefits, these changes could mean that you will receive less money to help with your housing costs. 

If the changes go ahead, it will be important to work out whether you are affected, and then think about how you could budget to cover any extra costs.

Do you need help managing your money?  The WPH Income Team can offer advice and support to tenants.  We have a dedicated welfare benefit advice team who can visit you in your home to help you manage your money and access the right benefits.

What you can do…
These proposals are not yet law and are subject to change.  We will provide you with further information as soon as we can.  If you want to know more about how Housing Benefit changes might affect you, please contact our Income Team.
