If you complete the forms and send these to the Jobcentre, they should forward these to the Housing Benefit department of your local Council. You will need to provide proof of your rent to the Council so we would encourage you to contact your local Council to ensure that your claim for Housing and Council Tax Benefit is logged (in case your forms fail to arrive). You can then arrange to send in any evidence/proof in support of your claim that the Council will need.
