Essential website maintenance

We will be carrying out planned maintenance on www.dudley.gov.uk Monday 17 August. This may involve some disruption to the site. You will still be able to raise requests through our MyDudley portal and make online payments through our eStore. We apologise for any inconvenience.

There are many organisations offering assistance to Dudley residents

Start for life

Find out more about the range of guidance and support that is available for families of children from conception to the age of two.

Support for carers

Do you provide care or support to a parent, child, partner, relative, neighbour or friend who has an illness, disability, addiction or is older and frail? If the answer is yes, then you are a carer. There's lot of support available from Dudley Carers Hub.

Pension Credit

Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you’re over State Pension age and on a low income. Pension Credit can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

If you are eligible for Pension Credit, this could mean extra weekly money and access to a range of other benefits.

  • Although Pension Credit is means tested, you may still qualify if you have savings or if you own your own home.
