Hello! We’ve had a Ukrainian refugee family living with us for the last 2 years. Due to my husbands recent poor health we need to find them their own home now. They are eligible for 3 bed accommodation under the local rent allowance rules. Mum works and receives UC. The max rent allowance for 3 beds is £1950 per month. It’s £1550 for 2 beds. There is no 3 bed accommodation available at £1950 per month. My question is this: If she rented 2 bed accommodation, would she be eligible for up to £1950, or limited to the 2 bed allowance? Many thanks in advance for any help and advice.
Your question is outside the remit of the forum, we would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk or contact Shelter as it is a housing issue england.shelter.org.uk/get_help
