<p /> <p /> <p>This information is not available.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible
to calculate the proportion of those affected by the removal of the spare room subsidy
policy to date due to the dynamic nature of the caseload (i.e. every month there are
on-flows as well as off-flows). However a recent DWP ad hoc publication did show that
between May and December 2013 around 19,000 of the caseload downsized within the social
rented sector over this period. This is likely to be an understatement and it does
not include those who have downsized to the private rented sector.</p><p> </p><p>This
represents around 10% of all those who during this period were no longer subject to
a reduction in their housing benefit award due to the policy.</p>
