Can I apply if I receive benefits or other financial support?

Yes. Receiving benefits or other financial support does not prevent you from applying for an Incremental Living apartment.

Our standard requirement is combined annual household income of at least 2.5 times the annual rent. We assess relevant documented income fairly, including earnings, benefits, pensions & other regular financial support. Savings can provide supporting evidence, but do not automatically replace the standard income test. We may need to understand the amount & regularity of each payment.

For our properties in England, landlords must not refuse an applicant simply because they receive benefits or have children. In Ireland, discrimination based on receipt of housing assistance, including HAP, is also prohibited.

What to provide

• Evidence of your regular income or benefit payments, where requested.
• Details of any housing support relevant to your rent.
• Any other income or savings you want considered.

We will explain the evidence required for your circumstances. You do not need to rule yourself out before applying.
