Question
At what percentile does the Government consider that the Local Housing Allowance should be set?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
The Welsh Government continues to call for the restoration of Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates to the 50th percentile (rather than the 30th percentile) and that rates are uplifted annually. I have also written to the UK Government on this issue, outlining the need for revised rental data to be used.
