<p /> <p /> <p>The Department has allocated a total of £18.4 million to local authorities
to support the ongoing administrative costs of implementing welfare reform changes
in 2014/15. This includes £2.1million for the estimated costs of identifying claimants
affected by the unintended exemption, which will be allocated to local authorities
in line with the published number of claimants affected by the removal of the spare
room subsidy in each local authority. Further details are included in a Housing Benefit
circular at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hb-subsidy-circular-s22014-additional-funding-to-meet-the-costs-of-implementing-welfare-reform-changes-in-apr-2014-to-mar-2015%20"
