Important information for foster carers

If you or your partner have foster children living with you and you live in private rented accommodation and you or your partner claim Housing Benefit under Local Housing Allowance, there are changes that you need to know about. 

Foster children are now included in the calculation for working out your Local Housing Allowance rate. If you think applies to you, please let us know. Visit our Housing and Council Tax Benefits page for more information and for details about how to contact us.
