If your appeal is unsuccessful for either Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction, you can take further action by appealing to an independent tribunal, depending on the nature of your case. Here's what you should do:
| Action | Details |
|---|---|
| Housing Benefit | Appeal to The Tribunals Service within 1 month of the confirmation letter from the council. |
| Council Tax Reduction | If you disagree with the decision after a reconsideration, appeal to the Valuation Tribunal within 2 months of the decision notice. If no response is received within 2 months, you can appeal directly to the Tribunal. |
You’ll need to submit your appeal in writing, and if you're unsure of the process, consider reaching out to the Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance. You can apply to the Valuation Tribunal here.
