Ways to communicate with us

The best way to communicate with us is via our online forms. They collect all the information we need to help us assist you. You can find most of our online forms via your MyHarrow Account.

Most of the information about your claim, including any letters we send you is available on your MyHarrow Account. The account also lets you:

  • Make a new claim for Housing Benefits or Council Tax Support
  • Tell us about a change in circumstances
  • See how much Housing Benefit you are entitled to
  • See how your claim was worked out
  • Securely submit evidence to support your claim
  • See how much you will be paid and when your next payment is due
  • Landlords can also view their payment schedules in My Harrow Account

Providing evidence to support your claim

  • Evidence can be securely submitted electronically using the Electronic Evidence Upload form.
  • We recommend using online services to avoid delays, but we understand that not everyone is able to do this.  If you cannot use online services, you can submit evidence at Greenhill Library. You can also write us a letter and take it to the library to be scanned to your claim.
  • It is not possible to email the Housing Benefit/Council Tax Support service. The online forms will assist you in providing any information you need to or to query your claim with us.
