People Who Are Severely DisabledTo work out how much benefit you might get you need to find out what Local Housing Allowance rate your benefit will be based on.
If you are severely disabled, or live with a severely disabled partner, and have no dependent children, your benefit will be based on the one bedroom Local Housing Allowance rate.
You can find out what the Local Housing Allowance room rates are by checking the Council's web site at visiting our LHA Rates page.
You also need to find out if you can get the full amount of benefit. The amount of benefit you can get may be affected by
- any money you have coming in
- any savings you have
- how much your rent is
- if you share paying the rent with someone else
For more information about this, please get in touch with us at the address below or look at the Frequently Asked Questions page.
