Home Visits

I'm claiming benefit, will someone come to visit me about my claim?

The Council is now administering benefits in accordance with the requirements of the Government's Verification Framework. This involves carrying out much more detailed checks and as part of this there is a requirement to visit all claimants over a period of time and on an ongoing basis. In addition if you are someone who, because of age or disability, cannot get into one of the Council's Benefit contact points then you can ask for a visiting officer to come out to see you.
