If you want to ask for a decision review on a Housing Benefit matter, you can follow these steps based on the information available from Hounslow:
Request a Revision: If you disagree with a decision regarding your Housing Benefit, you can ask the council to revise it. This includes decisions about the benefit amount, rent eligibility, or income calculations.
Submit an Appeal: If you're still not satisfied after the revision, you can appeal to an independent tribunal.
Contact Information: For assistance, call the council at 020 8583 4242 to discuss your claim or to book an appointment.
Here’s a summary of who can request a revision:
| Who Can Request a Revision |

| Agent (only regarding payments) |
