Housing and council tax benefit
Our housing benefit scheme is to help people on a low income pay
their rent. Our council tax benefit scheme is to assist people on a
low income to pay their council tax. We are required by law to
administer theses schemes for the residents of Peterborough. To see
if you may be eligible for either of these schemes please use our
benefits calculator.
