How do I apply for Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP)?

Applications for Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) should be made using the form on the Vale of White Horse website. Click here and scroll down to the "other forms and guidance" section for the DHP application form. Please be aware that any application for DHP made in writing will be accepted and further information requested if necessary.

We will accept applications from the tenant, their representative or the landlord. Applications to the Crisis Fund will automatically be treated as applications for a DHP so that the Crisis Fund assessors can recommend a DHP where that is more appropriate.
