GRACE

We have discussed your situation and have agreed to allow you a couple more weeks grace for you and the council to finalize your Housing Benefit application and for payment of Rent period...

can grace be used in this context?

Yes, it's fine. It means that they are being generous and giving you a little more time to sort out the benefit application etc. It should be "a couple more weeks' grace".
