Inspired Living making your area a great place to live
MARCH 2013
New housing benefit claims or a change in circumstances If you need to make a new claim for housing benefit, or report a change in circumstances, you will need to visit Great Places’ office at 119 Union Street, Oldham, or come to your local drop-in session (details below). The reason for this is to make sure your housing benefit claim is paid more efficiently and most importantly correctly. As a reminder, here’s the information for our drop-in events... Primrose Bank every Monday in the office above Primrose Bank Tenants’ Hall 10am to 12pm (Great Places), 12pm to 2pm (Wates) Crossley Every Tuesday at Wates’ office in the north compound 10am to 12pm (Great Places), 12pm to 2pm (Wates)
