Re the HB.. I mean if tenant has rent arrears and a HB overpayment being collected via the HB, could the rents team request TPD to cover both amounts..

If the rents team are not able to , can the client themselves request this by the DWP..

It's £3. See pages 998-1003 of the WB&TC Handbook.

A LL can only request a TPD for the arrears, and water or service charges.
