Housing benefit negative certificate
As a recipient of housing benefit, you will need a negative certificate if you move house.
Description
When moving house
As a housing benefit recipient, you will need a negative certificate if you move to another housing benefit office and apply for housing benefit there. This certificate is intended to avoid double payments from different housing benefit offices. It will be issued on request by the housing benefit authority responsible until then.
Miscellaneous
In individual cases, negative certificates can also be issued or requested for other reasons (e.g. for submission to the Foreigners Office).
You only need a negative certificate for submission to the Foreigners Office if you are applying for a settlement permit or if the certificate has been expressly requested by the Foreigners Office.
