We understand some properties in and around Melton Mowbray have been affected by the burst water pipe.

Severn Trent are working to get supply back up and running as quickly as possible and are updating their website with the latest information: https://www.stwater.co.uk/in-my-area/incidents/supply-interruptions-in-melton-mowbray18/. 

Landlord appealing a benefit decision

A landlord can only appeal against the following decisions we have made:

  • Whether or not to pay direct payments  
  • The reason for overpaid housing benefit
  • Whether the overpayment is recoverable from them

A landlord cannot appeal the following:

  • How much housing benefit has been awarded to a tenant.
  • The Local Housing Allowance rate used as supplied by the Valuation Office.
  • If we reduce payments that are made to you in order to recover an overpayment from your tenants previous address.

If you wish to appeal a decision you can do this in writing either by post:

Melton Borough Council,
Parkside, Station Approach,
Burton Street,
Melton Mowbray,
Leics, LE13 1GH

Or send an email to cscbenefits@melton.gov.uk.
