What is Local Housing Allowance?
Local Housing Allowance (LHA) has taken effect from 7th April 2008. It is an easier and fairer way to work out how much Housing Benefit we can potentially pay. It is based on your household requirements not the actual size of the property. For a more information on What is LHA and LHA rates please follow the link.
