Housing Benefit: Written statement - HCWS154 - UK Parliament

This Housing Benefit written statement from the Department of Work and Pensions announces the deferral of the application of Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates to social rents from 2018 until 2019/20.

This move has come from an evidence review of providers, local authorities, charities, representative bodies and the Devolved Administrations about the future funding arrangements for the sector that will be published shortly.
