To support your claim for housing and/or council tax support you may be asked to provide proof of your and your partner’s identity, rent, income and savings. We cannot award any benefit if you do not supply all of this information.

Proof of identity and national insurance number

You must provide proof of your national insurance number and your partner’s national insurance number. If you are claiming as a couple but one of you has not got a National Insurance number because your immigration status does not allow you to work, this person will need to attend an interview at the Job Centre Plus to have their identity confirmed. This will not stop the partner who has a national insurance number from claiming benefit housing and council tax support for both of you. Please send a least two items of proof for each person. At least one item of proof must be from the following:

Birth certificate

Passport

Driving licence

Other examples of proof include:

Gas/electric or water bill

NHS medical card

Benefit entitlement

See the housing benefit and council tax support online claim form for a full list of acceptable proof

Proof of income

If you or your partner are employed you must provide:

Five wage slips in a row if paid weekly or

Three wage slips in a row if paid every two weeks or
