Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the availability of shared accommodation for people under 35 in receipt of housing benefit.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2015
No assessment has been made of the availability of shared accommodation for single people under 35. However the Department commissioned an independent evaluation of the changes to Local Housing Allowance, including the impacts on single people under 35. The final report was published last year and can be found at:
