Discretionary Housing Payment Policy

Method of Payment

Discretionary Housing Payments are paid to the person receiving the HB payment. Applicants and affected parties will be notified of the payment method to be applied when an award is made.

Payment will be by direct credit to a bank account or by cheque; this will be determined by how the main HB is paid. Mansfield District Council tenants will receive payment of their DHP by credit to their rent account.
