How do I claim benefit ?

You will need to complete an application form.  Forms are available from the Council offices (see details below), or alternatively you can get a form from the Department for Works & Pensions.
 
Once completed, an application form may be sent in the post or brought into one of our community offices. Original documents must be supplied to support the application and these can be checked while you wait if you visit one of the Community Offices.
 
The application form will be date stamped on receipt and the evidence in support of the claim will be checked, photocopied and returned to you. We will also write to you at this stage to request any further information if necessary to process your claim.

You can download an application form, visit one of our Community Offices, or telephone 01748 829100 and ask to speak to a member of our Benefits Team.
 
Alternatively please e-mail benefits@richmondshire.gov.uk with your name and address and an application form will be sent to you.
