We are carefully considering next steps in response to the European Court of Human Rights decision. In the meantime, for people in particular circumstances who may require more support, Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) are available. Since 2011 we have provided over £1billion in DHP funding, enabling local authorities to protect the most vulnerable claimants and supporting households to adapt to housing support reforms, including the Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy policy. In addition, we recently announced an extra £40 million in DHPs for 2020/21.
