Inquiry scope
In 2011, the Coalition Government launched a programme of welfare reform, including reform of the Housing Benefits system. 8% of the Welsh population receives housing benefit in Wales. Changes to the housing benefit system announced by the Government include: changes to how the rate of housing benefit is set; changes to the way the Local Housing Allowance is set; increasing non-dependent deductions; and reforms to social housing. The introduction of the Housing Benefit Cap will also have an impact on individuals and families.Reports
