Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

How much benefit will I get?

How much you get depends on how many people live in the property and the rent levels in the area. If the rent is more than the LHA, you must pay the difference to your landlord.

We will tell you how much you will get when we complete your claim. LHA is paid into the tenant's bank account.
