How Your Housing Benefit Has Been Worked Out for the period
From 08/07/2013 to 11/08/2013 your Housing Benefit will be £86.84 each week.
The rent you are charged each week is £92.49.
Housing Benefit cannot pay for some service charges that are included in your rent. The rent you pay has to be
reduced by the amount of these service charges. These amounts are shown below:
Actual amount for Ineligible Water £5.65
Total deductions for services £5.65
The amount of rent after deducting these charges is called your maximum eligible rent. Your rent of £92.49 must
be reduced by £5.65, to £86.84 each week. This is your maximum eligible rent.
The maximum Housing Benefit you can get is £86.84 each week. This figure is used when working out 'your
total weekly Housing Benefit'.
The amount of Housing Benefit has been worked out by comparing the money you have coming in each week,
to an amount the Government has decided is the minimum that someone in your circumstances needs to cover
basic living expenses.
Your Total Weekly Income
The amount of money you have coming in each week has been worked out as follows:
Total weekly income £0.00
Your Total Savings
If you have savings and capital over £6,000.00, an amount of £1.00 must be added to your weekly income for
each additional £250.00, or part of £250.00 you have.
You have told me that you have no savings or capital, so I have added nothing to your weekly income. If you get
savings credit in your pension credit, your savings have already been taken into account by the Pension Service
and will not be shown on this letter.
Your Applicable Amount
Your applicable amount is made up of the following allowances and premiums:
Single claimant 25 or over £71.70
Total applicable amount £71.70
Your Total Weekly Housing Benefit
As your total weekly income of £0.00 is the same as or less than your 'applicable amount' of £71.70,1 can pay
you your maximum Housing Benefit of £86.84 each week.
You may be entitled to Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance. You should contact the Jobcentre Plus on
0800 055 6688 for more information.
