Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

How long does it take to process applications for housing benefit?

All applications that we receive before the 20th of each month are confirmed by the end of that month at the latest.
When applications are processed or if some information is missing, you will receive an email telling you that you have a letter in Electronic documents on HMS My pages, confirming your housing benefits or if something is missing, what that is.
If you have chosen non electronic communication a letter will be mailed to your legal address.
