Keeping Your Information Up to Date It is important that your details are correct when benefits are calculated and that you let the relevant benefits department know when things change. If you claim benefits you need to inform the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Council and/or HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) of any changes to your circumstances. If you fail to keep the authorities up-to-date with changes you could be overpaid and even accused of fraud. You may also not get paid money that you are entitled to.
NPT Homes is Here to Help NPT Homes has a wide range of services available to help tenants with the day-to-day difficulties of managing a home. We are here to offer you the right amount of support you need, but we can only offer you help if we know your current circumstances.
The type of things you will need to tell them are:
Please tell us if:
• Changes in your income – pensions, benefits, wages, etc.
• You lose your job
• Changes in the amount of savings you have
• Someone moves into or leaves your household (births, deaths, marriages, children leaving home, etc.)
• Changes to your family/household (births, deaths, marriages, children leaving home, etc.) • Changes to the number of hours you work
Child Tax Credit (CTC) – Disabled Child Elements We have noticed that people often fail to inform HMRC when their child is awarded Disability Living Allowance. By doing this you may miss out on the disabled child element and the severely disabled child element of CTC. This could be worth £4,355 per year! If you are unsure of what changes you need to announce or who you need to contact, we can help.
Call our Financial Inclusion Team on 01639 506623.
• Your housing benefit is stopping

NPT Homes Donates Five Food Hampers Since the last edition of The Grapevine, NPT Homes and one its main contractors, Mi-space, donated food and festive treats to two tenants and The Vale of Neath Food Bank in Glynneath. Local food banks, Pantry in Pontardawe and the Port Talbot Food Bank based in Carmel Chapel in Port Talbot, also benefited from the donations later in the month. Port Talbot Food Bank Manager, Bethan Davies, said:
“The generosity of NPT Homes and others over the year has been breath-taking. Food banks are extremely busy and the extra food donations allowed local families to put a hot, healthy meal on the table.” NPT Homes’ Chief Executive, Linda Whittaker, said:
“NPT Homes is committed to supporting local people within Neath, Port Talbot and Pontardawe. This is one of the many ways we like to give something back to those living in the community in which we operate.”

On the
Changes to the Board
Board
2015 began with three changes to the Board. Firstly, Hilary Griffiths, a tenant co-optee, announced in January that she would be resigning. I would like to personally thank Hilary for her hard work and commitment to NPT Homes over the past four years and prior to that as a member of the Shadow Board. Secondly Ellen Greed, a tenant member, also announced that she would be resigning from the Board. I am pleased to say, however, that Ellen will continue to be involved with NPT Homes on a more operational level and we look forward to working with her in the future. Thirdly it gives me great pleasure to welcome Helen James to the Board. Helen has been co-opted to the Board to cover the independent vacancy. Helen was born in Port Talbot and brings a wealth of experience to the role, having worked as a chartered surveyor for over 25 years.
Come on Board We are now looking for tenant Board Members. If you are a tenant interested in making a contribution to the strategic running and development of NPT Homes, please contact the Corporate Governance Team on 01639 505857.
Approval of the Shared Lettings Policy The Board finalised its approval of the Shared Lettings Policy in January. This policy was created in partnership with Neath Port Talbot Council and details changes to how we allocate our properties. The biggest change is the removal of the points system and the introduction of a banding system. We believe the changes will make our allocation process fairer and ensure those in need get the housing they require. The new allocation system will be introduced in April 2015. More information is on page 18.
Universal Credit As you might be aware, the UK Government is rolling out Universal Credit, starting on Monday 13th April in Neath Port Talbot for single people under 60 and a half years old claiming: - Income-based Job seekers allowance (JSA) and - Income-based JSA (with Housing Benefit). If your circumstances change or if you are a new claimant of the above benefits you will need to apply for Universal Credit. The Board is keeping up-to-date with how Universal Credit may affect NPT Homes and its tenants and we are ensuring that we are as prepared as possible for the changes. To find out more about how Universal Credit may affect you, please go the ‘Your Benefits are Changing’ website at www.yourbenefitsarechanging.co.uk.

Changes to How Our Properties are Allocated Policy Approved As mentioned in the autumn edition of The Grapevine, NPT Homes and Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC) have been working with tenants and applicants through a number of interactive workshops to review their Shared Lettings Policy. After a full consultation period and approval from relevant Boards and committees, the revised Shared Lettings Policy has now been approved and will apply from Monday 6th April 2015.
What Does This Mean?
What is the Shared Letting Policy? The Shared Lettings Policy is a key document which sets out: • How the housing register will operate • Who is eligible for housing • How to apply for accommodation • How applicants’ housing needs are assessed and • How NPT Homes allocates accommodation.
What Are The Changes? The changes ensure that the policy truly reflects housing needs in the local communities. Some of the key changes include: • The introduction of a needsbased banding system where applicants are placed in the band which reflects the level of their housing need - the higher the housing need, the higher the band.
Now the revised Shared Lettings Policy has been agreed, NPT Homes has a timetable to move existing and An applicant’s re-housing priority new applicants to the new scheme will be reduced to a lower band if by Monday 6th April 2015. they or a member of their household
has no local connection to Neath Port Talbot or if the applicant or member of their household has behaved unacceptably. For example: • If they have breached the Tenancy Agreement • Have not paid rent, or • Have been involved in anti-social behaviour. We will be updating all the related information on our website over the next few weeks ready for the start of the new policy on Monday 6th April 2015.
