    Local housing allowance only applies to privately rented properties, it doesn't apply to social housing. Whether they will pay all the rent will depend on what's included with that rent.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Gas and electricity and water isn’t within the rent- there’s a service charge which I’ll probably have to pay my self. Which is 61£ a week. But will they cover the rest??

    The rent itself will be covered, what may not be covered is the service charges.
