Do you need help making an application for benefits?
If you rent your home in the borough of Bury and need support to make an online Universal Credit application, Six Town Housing can help. This offer is open to both:
- Council tenants
- Tenants renting privately from landlords
The borough of Bury is made up of Radcliffe, Ramsbottom, Prestwich, Tottington, Whitefield and the town of Bury itself.
How we can help
Our team are here to advise you on the support available to help you apply for the benefits you are entitled to. We can also assist you while you are making an online application for Universal Credit and answer any questions you have about the process.
We can also refer people who are struggling financially to the Citizens Advice Bureau for further financial advice and guidance.
What you need
For our staff to support you with your application, you will need access to a computer, smartphone or tablet device that is connected to the internet. This is because accessing Universal Credit and ongoing information about your claim is an online process, even after the initial set-up.
If you do not have access to a computer or internet access, our staff will be able to refer you to the Department of Work and Pensions for assistance or you can call the Universal Credit Helpline.
