LHA - quick question
Thu 08-Jan-09 12:44 PM

Hi hopefully this is fairly straight forward for someone.

I have a client who put in a claim form for HB on 2nd April 2008. The HB was awarded from the Monday after (7th April 2008). The LA are applying the old regs saying that the date of claim is 2/04/08 not 7/04/08. If they apply the LHA regs he will be £15 pw better off.

Is this correct?

The LA are correct (see HB Reg 13C(2)(a) inserted by Reg 7 of the HB (Local Housing Allowance and Information Sharing ) Amendment Regs 2007 SI 2007 no 2868)
