Abstract

The findings of research into the policy and practice of local authority housing-benefit sections in determining the eligible rent levels on which housing-benefit payments for private tenants are calculated are set out. It is shown that there are differences in the ways in which housing-benefit sections interpret and put into effect the regulations in this area of housing-benefit administration. The entitlements of housing-benefit claimants in similar circumstances may, therefore, differ depending on the part of Britain in which they live. The paper ends with a brief consideration of ways in which the situation might be improved.
