We welcome applications from people receiving benefits. Local Housing Allowance (LHA) is used to work out housing support for private renters. Your rate depends on the property’s postcode and the number of bedrooms your household is entitled to, which may differ from the bedrooms advertised.

Town names are a guide; use the exact property postcode to confirm the rate area. These are maximum monthly rates, not a quote for what you will receive. Your award may be lower, and you may need to cover any gap between your rent and your housing support. Housing Benefit is normally quoted weekly: use the official checker for the relevant rate.
