You will need 1 bedroom for each of the following residents:
- every adult couple;
- any other adult aged 16 years or over;
- any 2 children of the same sex aged under 16 years;
- any 2 children regardless of their sex aged under 10 years; or
- any other child aged under 16 years.
Please remember the LHA amount is not necessarily what you will receive each week.
This is the amount we use as a starting point in the Local Authorities assessment process.
