The maximum Housing Benefit you can get is the full amount of rent you have to pay. There are circumstances that might affect how much Housing Benefit you can get.

There will be a new limit from April 2020 to the overall amount you can receive from benefits. For couples and for single parents, this will be 422.31 per week. For single people without children, it will be £296.35 a week.

The level of the cap is: £384.62 per week for couples (with or without children) and lone parents • £257.69 per week for single adults. Households that meet the qualifying criteria for Working Tax Credit will be exempt from the cap to ensure that someone in work will be better off than if they were on benefits.

Housing Benefit is a Government scheme to help people on low income pay their rent. It doesn't matter if you are working or not. The amount you get depends on your rent, the size of your family, your children's ages, any ill health or disability in the family and the level of your savings and weekly income.

The maximum housing assistance is generally the lesser of the payment standard minus 30% of the family's monthly adjusted income or the gross rent for the unit minus 30% of monthly adjusted income.

Through public housing authorities, HUD provides rental assistance vouchers for privately owned housing to Veterans who are experiencing homelessness.
