Housing Applications - Keeping Your Application Up to Date
You must tell the Housing Options Team of any changes in your circumstances while you are waiting on the Housing Register.
If there have been changes in your circumstances, that may affect your points, you will be sent a duplicate application form to complete and sign so that the Housing Options Team has accurate and up to date information.
Remember that the Housing Options Team will not know that you have moved unless you tell them your new address.
Many people think that if they are on Housing Benefit, the Council will automatically know where they live and if they move. This is not the case; Housing Benefit records are held separately, and the Housing Benefits Team has no knowledge of whether claimants are on the Housing Register.
You must also renew your application each year. You will be sent a letter asking you to:
- Renew your application
- Give information about any changes in your circumstances
Your application will be cancelled if it is not renewed after a reminder has been sent. If your entry on the Housing Register is cancelled, we will tell you in writing, giving you reasons why.
You can contact the Housing Options Team using the details on the right.
