Rapid reclaims are a streamlined process for customers who

• Have previously been awarded Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit based on entitlement to Income Support or Job Seeker's Allowance; and
• Cancelled their claim because they have started work for a short period; and
• Are now re-claiming Income Support or Job Seeker's Allowance; and
• Also want to reclaim Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit, and their circumstances are exactly the same as when they last claimed

We will only be able to accept a Rapid Reclaim form if it is less than 26 weeks since the end of your previous Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit entitlement.  If it's more than 26 weeks since your claim was cancelled from or your circumstances have changed, you will need to complete a full claim form.

The Rapid Reclaim form is a shortened two-page form that can be downloaded by following this link.
