How to Calculate Housing Benefit?

The maximum housing benefit you can receive is equivalent to 100% of your rent, excluding costs for services such as heating, lighting, and water rates.

Considering the private rents, housing benefit is limited with your local LHA. More information you can finde here.

The Housing Benefit can be reduced by wages, self-employment earnings or other non-DSS bonuses.
