Please read this declaration carefully before you sign and date it.
I understand the following.
• If I give information that is incorrect or incomplete, the Council may take action against me.
• You will use the information I have provided to process my claim for Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit, or both. You may check some of the information with other sources within the Council, the Rent Officer, other Councils and Benefit Authorities.
• You may use any information I have provided in connection with this and any other claim for Social Security benefits that I have made or may make. You may give some information to other Government organisations, if the law allows this.
I know I must let the Revenues and Benefit Section of the Council know, immediately in writing, about any changes in my circumstances, which might affect my claim. If I do not tell the Council about changes in my circumstances and too much benefit is paid, I will have to pay it back.
