answer text

Housing Benefit is an income-related benefit which is intended to assist people who need help to pay their rent. Any income that is available to meet those expenses, such as a State Pension, is normally taken fully into account when working out how much Housing Benefit can be paid. There are no plans to amend regulations to allow a disregard for State Pension income, including any increases each year.
