With regard to age ranges, homeless hostels and the shared accommodation rate
I tried to find ADM Memo 10/21 to read guidance on what constitutes a “homeless hostel”, this was published following the Housing Benefit and Universal Credit (Care Leavers and Homeless) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (SI.No.546/2021). These regs. extended the age ranges for which care leavers and previous hostel occupants in regard to exemptions from the shared accommodation rate of LHA - but I cannot find it - does anyone have a working link or a copy?
I have found this guidance for Housing Benefit A7/2021

Funny how the UC guidance has disappeared
I think it’s probably been absorbed into the main ADM - looks like chapter F3 - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1108297/admf3.pdf - is paragraph F3241-> what you’re looking for?
