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.
