If you disagree with the amount of Housing Benefit you get, you can submit a dispute.
Before you submit a dispute you may want to check the reason your Housing Benefit entitlement has changed.
How to submit a dispute
You will need to provide the following information:
- The date of the decision you are asking us to review. You can find this on your Housing Benefit letter. You must submit it within one month of the decision.
- The reason you believe the decision is wrong
- Any evidence to support what you are telling us. Please have your supporting documents ready to upload.
You will need to sign in to your MyHarrow Account to access the form.
If you prefer you can submit your dispute by posting a letter to the Housing Benefit disputes and appeals office. Their contact details are further down on this page.
Checking the progress of your dispute
We aim to consider your request and respond within 2 months. If we're unable to reach a decision in this time, we'll contact you.
You can check the progress on your MyHarrow Account. When we finish assessing your dispute, we'll send you a letter.
You will be able to read the letter on your account. If your entitlement changes, we will send you a decision notification.
You will be able to see the decision notification letter on your account. If you haven’t been sent a new letter or decision notification, we are probably still assessing your claim.
