How much Housing Benefit you could get

The amount of Housing Benefit you can receive depends on several factors. These include:

• your income and savings
• your rent
• the number of people living with you
• your personal circumstances (such as age or disability)

If you rent privately, the maximum amount of Housing Benefit you can get is 100% of the Local Housing Allowance rate.
