No NINO yet, backdated housing benefit?
Mon 26-Mar-07 10:57 AM |
We have a client who has recently been granted refugee status (Feb). His NASS accommodation has come to an end. He was interviewed for a NINO on the 9th March, and told it will take 4 to 6 weeks go be issued. LA has decided not in priority need. If he were to find a hostel place, would he be able to claim housing benefit for it to be backdated to the date of claim as he is entitled to a NINO which is being processed?
