My client has problems with CB which we are dealing with through an official complaint. She was given ILR in June and applied for all benefits after that - she is a SP with 3 children. She has only been awarded CB for one child to date - others still subject to PFA checks, hence our complaint.

She has been awarded LHA based on a 2 bed - her need is for a 3 bed. The only reason I can think of is because of her CB problem - I have written to LA bit have not had a response yet.

I tried to check in LHA regs but could not find whether CB is needed as proof of responsibility for a child when assessing LHA - can anyone assist?

Thanks

You will find the answer in the 2006 main HB Regs Reg 20 and 21.

CB is not necessarily needed as proof of responsibility

Thanks Derek!
