Information for pensioners

People over the age of 65 can apply for help with payment of their rent or council tax. However, due to the way we treat income and capital, the rules used to calculate benefits for pensioners are slightly different.

If you need advice or help with small repairs please contact the Home Improvement Agency. This is a service that is available to homeowners and private tenants within West Oxfordshire area who are over 60 years of age.

This section explains how pensioner applications are dealt with and what help you may be entitled to.
