Have your say!

Tai Pawb promotes equality and social justice in Wales. They believe that all people have the right to access good quality housing and homes in cohesive and safe communities and to reduce prejudice, disadvantage and poverty.

This survey is for disabled people who live in accessible social housing or have the experience of applying for accessible social housing.

Tai Pawb would like to know more about your experiences of applying for housing. Tai Pawb will use your contribution to shape a new guide to help develop more and better housing registers.

If you are a disabled tenant or applicant for accessible social housing and would like to share your experiences, please take 10 minutes to complete their survey here: www.taipawb.org/survey

Universal Credit

Published: Friday 21 July 2017

From July 2017 the ‘Full Service’ of Universal Credit was rolled out within Torfaen which means that if you are of working-age you will no longer be able to make a new claim for Housing Benefit for your housing costs.

You will now need to claim Universal Credit instead.
