We understand that service charges and major works bills can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you are a Lambeth leaseholder and receive certain welfare benefits, you may be able to get help with these costs.
This support depends on your individual circumstances and certain criteria must be met. If you are receiving benefits from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), such as Universal Credit and Pension Credit, you may qualify.
You’ll usually need to apply and provide evidence of your service charge invoices. To check your eligibility and get guidance, speak to one of the local advice providers below. Their services are free, impartial, confidential, and open to all Lambeth residents.
