General Briefing Service Index
Here you will find information about housing benefit under four headings: Recent briefings sent to subscribers, the on line version of my guide 'Housing Benefit for Housing Managers', the text of key housing benefit regulations, and information about common issues. Scroll down the page to find the section that you want. Each section has an index which you can open by clicking on 'show'.
If you are looking for information about a broad subject area, such as rent limits, or how benefit is calculated, it is probably best to start with 'Housing Benefit for Housing Managers. Open the index and click on the appropriate chapter. Each chapter starts with a list of contents. Click on the appropriate hyperlink in the contents or scroll down the chapter to find the material you want.
If you are looking for something more specific, such as payment on two homes or the treatment of shared ownership housing, start with the list of common issues. Open up the long index, which is alphabetical order and scoll down to find the topic you want.
If you know the regulation that you are looking for and want to be able to quote it or send it to someone then open the housing benefit regulations index. Please note that I have only included the regulations that are most likely to be the subject of dispute.
Finally, if you still cannot find what you are looking for, remember that, if your organisation gets email briefings, you can email me at chris.smith@hbhelp.co.uk with your question.
