How can I apply for benefit to be paid directly to me?

...in most instances benefit will be paid directly to tenants. However there are certain circumstances when benefit can be paid to a landlord. We have developed a "Safeguarding Policy" which outlines the circumstances when we can consider paying benefit payments directly to you.

This is accompanied by an application form which must be completed for each request.

All requests need to be supported by appropriate evidence
