Benefits

Housing costs, such as rent and council tax, are a large part of most people's expenses. If you are on a low income these costs can be difficult to manage. Southwark Council, in partnership with Liberata, provide a benefits service to help people meet these costs. Select from the links on the left for more guidance.

Southwark is running a campaign called "Rightfully Yours" which is aimed at helping residents get their share of the extra income that’s going uncollected every year. Go to our Rightfully Yours page for more information.
