Figuring out how much of your rent will be covered by Housing Benefit can confusing. Don't make the mistake of thinking there's one rate per borough either. In the larger boroughs, understandably, there can be several rates, and these are dependent on the rent value of property in each.
If you're moving to an area that's new to you and are entitled to Housing Benefit as a result of being on what the authorities call a PASSPORT benefit, such as Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance or Employment Support Allowance it's worth finding out the figures and doing some sums before viewing potential homes.
If you've got the post code of the road or street you want to move to then there are several helpful little tools that will give you the information you need.
