    Welcome Scully from a bright but chilly Worcestershire, Hope someone from the team can advise with your specific queries, and that you find this group supportive, there are some very good benefits advice pages with general information, and I hope someone can respond to you directly., good luck with  getting  your answers.

    Hello @scully and welcome to the community.

    It will depend a lot on your personal circumstances. 

    It is worth checking your local council website for information on this, or speaking to them. I know on the Merton Council website they say that on some benefits the DWP will let them know and the council will send out a shorter form to claim housing benefit and council tax benefit, so hopefully this will apply to where you are.
