You can use the online Benefits calculator Opens in a new window to find out whether you may be entitled to Housing or Council Tax benefit.

The calculator gives an estimate of your likely benefits, based on the information you supply. If you have any questions about your benefit entitlement, or to apply formally to obtain benefits, you will need to contact:

• Council Tax Benefits: Karenza Ware - kware@scilly.gov.uk
• Housing Benefits: Karenza Ware - kware@scilly.gov.uk

Before you start to use the calculator, you might want to have the following information to hand:

• Details of your income - for example wage slips, any benefits you receive, or pensions
• Capital - any bank accounts or savings accounts
• The amount of your weekly or monthly rent
• The amount of Council Tax that you pay in the current financial year

Using the calculator to do an estimate of any entitlement will usually take about five minutes.
