How are the local housing allowance rates worked out?
The basic calculation for LHA entitlement takes into account
- The number of rooms you are entitled to
- The area the property is in
- Your income and capital
- Other people who are living with you
More information about the calculation process and LHA can be found on our About Local Housing Allowance page.
