Local housing allowance (LHA) has remained frozen since 2020, despite substantial increases to rents in subsequent years.
We would like to speak with private renters in the UK who receive housing benefit or the housing element of universal credit. Has your rent risen in recent years? How have you been affected by frozen LHA rates? Have you fallen into arrears or been forced to move, for instance to an area with a more generous LHA? Or does your LHA cover your rental costs?
