This app should not be used as proof of entitlement, an official benefit calculation, or a substitute for advice from the relevant authority.
This is a simple guidance guide only. Your exact entitlement can depend on your household, age, disabilities, overnight carers, custody arrangements, exemptions, and current benefit rules.
Usually applies to single people under 35, unless an exemption applies. Some people can qualify for the 1-bedroom rate instead.
Usually for a single adult or a couple with no other household members who need their own bedroom.
These depend on who lives in the household. Children, ages, sex, disabilities, foster carers, overnight carers and other rules can affect the number of bedrooms used for LHA.
This app does not make a Housing Benefit, Universal Credit, council, DWP, Rent Officer, VOA, or legal decision. Always confirm your bedroom entitlement and LHA rate with official sources, your council, DWP, or a qualified adviser.

LHA is capped at 4 bedrooms. This is guidance only and not an official decision.
