The Housing Benefit Award Accuracy
The Housing Benefit Award Accuracy is an initiative from the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) to ensure awards of Housing Benefit are correct, and that those who are entitled, get the right amount. We might have recently sent you a form to review your entitlement.
For the financial year 2026/27 the DWP has asked that we exclusively review our Pension Age claims. Being selected for a review does not mean that you are suspected of not telling us about any changes.
If you have received a letter advising that your claim has been selected, you must complete the review as soon as possible. If you do not complete the review within one month of us writing to you, your claim will be suspended.
The easiest way to complete the form is using our online form: www.testvalley.gov.uk/benefitreview
If you are unable to complete the form online, please call us on 01264 368000 to request a paper form.
This form should only be used if you have been advised that your claim has been selected for review. If you need to report a change in circumstances, please click here.
You may scan or take a photograph of any supporting documents and upload them online at www.testvalley.gov.uk/SubmitInfo
We will contact you if any other information is required.
