Benefits
If you are over 18 at the start of your apprenticeship, or turn 18 when on an apprenticeship, you must claim benefits to help cover the cost of your rent. This applies no matter where you are living.
When you make a benefit claim, you must declare any additional financial support you get from us (Norfolk County Council). This payment will be ignored when you make your claim.
