I know this vanishes in April, but…  is there any reason why someone entitled to the one bedroom rate but renting a two roomed house shouldn’t keep any excess if the 2 bed rent is below the 1 room LHA?

Query 2.  How does the excess bit work where the landlord is having the rent paid direct?

1)  No reason at all

2) Seperate payment of up to £15.00 is sent direct to the claimant.
