Book Description
The Government referred proposals concerning the draft Housing Benefit Amendment Regulations 2009 to the Social Security Advisory Committee (SSAC) on 7 January 2009. The SSAC finds the proposals to be reactive, prompted by media coverage of a small number of cases, and not a balanced and considered response to a problem that is not widespread. It recommends that the Government does not proceed with the regulations, as they will have a direct impact on larger families and will also disproportionately affect families from minority ethnic groups. The Department for Work and Pensions sets out its response to the Committee's concerns, and has decided to proceed with the proposals, though it will extend the period of transitional protection from 13 to 26 weeks.

Pages : 176
Book Description
In the June 2010 budget, the Government set out a range of proposals aimed at curbing Housing Benefit expenditure that will be introduced between 2011 and 2013. The measures were referred to the Social Security Advisory Committee and this report outlines their recommendations and the Government's response to those recommendations. Principally these included: the removal of the five bedroom Local Housing Allowance rate so the maximum level is for a four bedroom property; the introduction of absolute caps to the Local Housing Allowance; the removal of £15 weekly Housing Benefit excess; include an additional bedroom with the size criteria where there is a proven need for overnight care that is provided by a non-resident carer; and setting Local Housing Allowance rates at the 30th percentile of rents in each Broad Rental Market Area. The Committee raised a number of concerns about the scale and impact of the changes and recommended that the Government should not go ahead with the package of amendments proposed. Among the Committee's recommendations were that the introduction of the CAP be deferred until October 2011; that initially a full Equality Impact Assessment be carried out and that a transition period be incorporated. The Government however feels that the amendments are the first steps in creating a more balanced affordable system and has decided to proceed.
