Process flow
As a rule, housing benefit is granted for 12 months.
The approval period is shortened accordingly if it is to be expected that the circumstances relevant to the payment of housing benefit will change before the 12 months have expired.
An application for continued benefit is possible at the earliest two months before the end of the approval period. The approval period can be found in the current notification.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
If the decision is positive, payment is made from the 1st of the month in which the application was made.
