LHA query for single lady who requires 2 bedroom property Wed 18-Feb-09 08:15 AM
All advice appreciated - I have a query regarding a single lady who requires 24 hour care due to her disabilities and thus needs a 2 bedroomed property. She has been allocated a 2 bed property that is managed by a RSL but is privately owned - hence LHA not HB.
Is there any way round her being assessed as only being eligible for 1 bed property as there is a significant shortfall between rent due and LHA available.

The rent for the property is just over £135 pw which is not a social housing rent as the property remains under private ownership - is it still possible to have it deemed as Social Housing as the Managing Agent is a RSL?
