propertytalk Live! - Housing Benefit reforms will restore fairness
Ministers have reaffirmed their determination to drive private sector rents for Housing Benefit recipients down, and stop taxpayers paying over the odds by announcing discretionary powers for local authorities to make direct payments to landlords in return for reducing their rents.
The announcement comes as Housing Benefit Regulations were laid in Parliament.
The Government is taking necessary steps to manage Housing Benefit costs and are implementing all Local Authority Housing Allowance measures announced in the emergency Budget in June 2010.
To avoid families being disrupted twice, first by the Caps in April 2011 and then by the reduction in Local Housing Allowance to the 30th percentile in October 2011, they will now both come into force in April 2011 for new customers.
