Why do you need to see bank statements?

Bank statements are requested for proof of capital/assets and sometimes for proof of income as we can see the income being paid into your bank account and accept this as evidence of the income that you receive. It depends on the amount of capital that you and your partner have as to whether it will affect your benefit entitlement. If you have £16,000 or more capital/assets then you are not eligible to claim Housing Benefit you can have up to £6,000 for working age and £10,000 for pension age before it will affect your benefit If you are under state pension age a tariff of £1 income per week will be applied for every £250 or part of above £6,000. For example if your capital is £7,000 we will take £4 a week into account as income for your capital If you are state pension age or over a tariff of £1 income per week will be applied for every £500 or part of above £10,000. For example if your capital is £11,000 we will take £2 a week into account as income for your capital

I am on a zero hour contract and my hours are always changing – what do I need to do?

You need to provide proof of your earnings when you make a claim for Housing Benefit:

your last five pay slips if you are paid weekly

your last three pay slips if you are paid fortnightly

your last two pay slips if you are paid monthly

if you have only just started work and not yet been paid, your employer can complete an earnings form to give us the information we need. Please contact us to request this We will take an average of your earnings and an average of the number of hours you worked over a two month period, and use this to assess your entitlement to benefit. If the number of hours you work and or the amount of earnings you receive changes by a significant amount (either more hours/pay or fewer hours/less pay) then you must notify us of the change in your circumstances. You will be asked to provide proof of your earnings as above and we will re-calculate the average earnings that you receive and adjust the amount of benefit that you are entitled to according to your new circumstances.
