Application forms can be obtained from any of the One Stop Shops or County Hall.

Alternatively, you can contact the Benefits section by telephone or in writing.
        
It is important that you do not delay in submitting your application, as normally benefit can only be awarded from the week following receipt of the application.

When you complete an application form, you must answer all questions and provide original documentation to support your claim.  This includes the last two months' Bank and Building Society statements.  Mini statements from cash machines are not acceptable.

Completed application forms and relevant documentation can be taken to your local One Stop Shop where the form can be checked and documentation photocopied, free of charge, (the originals being retained by yourself.).

If you need assistance in completing the forms, officers at the One Stop Shops will be pleased to help.

Or you can return your application form and relevant documentation to the above address.
