The DWP has committed £45 million to allow housing
benefit for private tenants to rise in certain areas. The move, which includes a 4 per cent rise in
certain parts of London, will see previous savings recycled to increase local
housing allowance rates. After consulting with local authorities the DWP has
agreed to inject £45 million to lift 126 LHA rates across 83 areas. A total of
35 of these areas are in London, and will receive the full 4 per cent rise.
There are 70 LHA areas in London overall.
