A pilot of direct payments to 1,000 tenants led to a
£241,000 rise in arrears, with an average debt of £130 per person, it has been
revealed by Wakefield and District Housing.
Of the 1,000 tenants in the pilot, 400 were taken off direct payments
before the end of the scheme because they hit eight weeks of arrears. Of the
remaining 600, only 300 elected to continue with direct payments at the end of
the pilot. Read more on Inside Housing.
