WINCHESTER City Council has launched a campaign aimed at helping residents who receive housing benefits and council tax support.
The ‘It’s great to be up to date’ campaign aims to remind residents receiving those benefits that they should let the council know as soon as they have a change in their circumstance.
Residents who do not contact the council straight away following a change in circumstances risk losing out on benefits they may have been entitled to or being asked to repay overpayments.
Portfolio holder for finance, councillor Guy Ashton said: “It’s great to be up to date’ is a really important message which will ensure that our residents get the right amount of benefits and support.”
