Welfare Changes: Explanatory Video

Barnet Homes - which manages 15,000 properties on behalf of Barnet Council - has produced a short film to explain the under-occupancy rules that will reduce housing benefit payments for hundreds of the borough's residents from April 1.  The film - 'Benefit changes: What you need to know' - sets out how the imminent bedroom tax will affect people and what options are available to them to cover any shortfall in their rent, such as advice on exchanging homes.  The film also covers the benefit cap and the advent of Universal Credit.  View the film on youtube by clicking on the Barnet Homes logo below.
