Changes to housing benefit from January 2012

From 1 January 2012 there were changes to housing benefit for single people aged 25 to 34 who rent from a private landlord.

The changes may mean that the amount of housing benefit paid may go down.

The government made changes to the way housing benefit is calculated for these tenants.

The Department for Works and Pensions' (DWP) leaflet gives more details of how these changes affect you (follow the link below for details).
