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> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 10/12/2014 14:59:18 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
