Welfare Benefit<br />
Changes<br />
In the last few newsletters we have been trying to keep you<br />
up to date with changes that the government intends to<br />
bring in for people on housing benefit.<br />
In this edition we want to highlight the plan to pay housing benefit<br />
on a monthly basis direct to customers. This will be a big change and<br />
customers will need to have bank accounts and pay by direct debit<br />
to help prevent arrears. Direct debits can be set up by your Eastline<br />
Office or by speaking to your Rent Officer. If you want advice on<br />
setting up a bank account or Direct Debit then please call your local<br />
Eastline and ask to be put through to the Financial Inclusion Team.<br />
Your<br />
rent at<br />
Christmas<br />
If you are up to date with<br />
your rent, you can enjoy<br />
a week off from your<br />
payments this Christmas!<br />
But, if your rent account is<br />
in arrears, you must pay<br />
your rent.<br />
If you are on a monthly<br />
arrangement or paying<br />
monthly Direct Debit or<br />
Standing Order, please note<br />
that you should continue to<br />
make your payment as usual,<br />
as your rent-break week will<br />
already have been calculated.
