We need some information about you, in order to give your application to the Department of Work and Pensions.

What is Water Direct?
Water Direct is a scheme where you allow us to collect payments directly from your benefits, before your benefits are paid to you. That means you don’t need to make payments to us, as we’ve already collected them!
The payments will go towards paying off money owed, as well as your latest bill.
We'll also stop any recovery action, as long as you use Water Direct.
