Overview
Discretionary Housing Payments are for people who need extra help with their rent when their Housing Benefit does not meet the full value of their rent.
Nottingham City Council administers Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP) on behalf of the Department for Works and Pensions.
Please who have an entitlement to Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit and who have a shortfall are eligible to claim for help.
The award of a DHP as such does not guarantee that a further award will be made at a later date even if the claimant's circumstances have not changed.
