Local Housing Allowance (LHA)

Additional room for carer

If you (or your partner) require care and have a carer stay regularly overnight, you may be entitled to an extra room rate within the size criteria (up to a maximum of four bedrooms – see above). The carer must not usually live in your property and you must have a spare bedroom for their overnight use.
