Benefits and support Help with rent and Council Tax for students

Students from abroad

If you come from outside Europe, you will probably not be able to get any Housing Benefit, help with rent from Universal Credit, Council Tax Support or Second Adult Rebate. It depends on the conditions under which you came into this country. This is the case even if you are in any of the groups of full-time students who may be able to get these benefits.
