How much do you get?
[ch 7: page 86]There is no set amount of Housing Benefit as it falls within the Benefit Cap (see chapter 2) which is currently set at:
• £442 a week in London and £385 per week outside the capital for households with children; and
• £296.35 a week in London and £257.69 a week outside the capital for single adults without children living with them.
The Benefit Cap is applied as a reduction in the amount of Housing Benefit awarded.
