Recommendation 5
5
Paragraph: 31
Consider adding Housing Benefit as a qualifying benefit for future cost of living payments.
Recommendation
We are concerned that support payments do not reach all low-income households in receipt of benefits as some households only receive housing benefit. The Government should consider adding Housing Benefit as a qualifying benefit for future cost of living support payments and set out the practicalities of doing so.
