Can I claim Housing Benefit or Universal Credit if I live on a narrow boat?

If the narrow boat is your main residence, you can claim assistance in paying the following:

  • Mooring Fees
  • Continuous cruiser licence
  • Rent (if you do not own the boat)

If you are working age, then you may do so by claiming Universal Credit.

If you are pension age, then they may do so by claiming Housing Benefit
