Discretionary Housing Payments
(DHP) application form
What is the DHP scheme?
The scheme is intended to help those who have special circumstances and need
extra help with rent. It’s available to people who are getting housing benefit but
do not receive the full amount of their rent and have a shortfall. It’s usually considered
on a short-term basis.
These payments are discretionary and each case is considered individually. We cannot
award DHP for some of the charges included in some rents such as water, fuel and food.
DHP can also be considered for rent in advance or rental deposits in some circumstances.
You will need to provide evidence of this.
What will I need as proof?
We will need to see…
• Evidence to support all details on the income and expenditure form.
• If you have a bank account we will need two full consecutive months statements
for all bank/building society/post office accounts held, whether or not they have
any money in them.
•
Evidence of any other savings or investments including premium bonds, shares, ISAs etc.
• Any other evidence you feel is relevant to your application.
• If you do not supply this information, we may not be able to consider your application.
