The DWP has announced individual local authority
Discretionary Housing Payment allocations for 2016/17. The DWP published detail
of how £150m of government contributions to DHP will be distributed. DHPs are
time-limited payments administered by councils to help people with their
housing costs. The government increased the overall annual DHP pot by £20m to
£150m for 2016/17. Individual allocations are calculated based on assumptions
based on previous levels of housing benefit expenditure by councils, and about
the impact of policies such as Local Housing Allowance caps, the bedroom tax
and the overall household benefits cap. Download details from the DWP website.
