    Exempt Accomodation Rent Information

    Requested Thu 24 January 2019
    Responded  Thu 31 January 2019

    I am seeking information relating to accommodation that has been classed as 'exempt'. I am seeking the housing benefit paid for such accommodation, broken down into housing benefit, and to include service charges as outlined below.

    Exempt accommodation is defined as:

    "1) "Exempt accommodation" is a term used in Housing Benefit and Universal Credit to describe supported accommodation where the rules that normally limit the amount of rent covered by a benefit award do not apply.

    The usual meaning of "exempt accommodation" is where the accommodation is provided by a landlord in the social or voluntary sector and the benefit claimant is provided with care, support or supervision by the landlord or by someone acting on the landlord's behalf.

    A claimant occupying exempt accommodation does not have their housing benefit restricted to local housing allowance."

    Please can you disclose the following:

    1. details of the lowest awarded eligible core rent;

    2. details of the highest awarded eligible core rent;

    3. details of the lowest awarded gross eligible rent (i.e. inclusive of the core rent and the eligible service charges);

    4. details of the highest awarded gross eligible rent (i.e. inclusive of the core rent and the eligible service charges); and

    5. Please confirm the names of exempt accommodation providers in your area. Please name the providers/landlords who currently hold exempt accommodation status in respect of any of their residents.
