A Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) is an extra award of money we can give to you if your housing benefit does not cover the full amount of your rent. DHP is not a benefit payment and the amount and duration of the payment is limited.
You can only ask for a DHP if you are already receiving housing benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit.
We will ask you for a lot of information about your situation in order for us to be satisfied that you need this extra help.
Contact us: benefits@warrington.gov.uk or 01925 443210
DHPs are only intended to be a short term help while you find solutions to your financial situation.
