Right, this has nothing to do with benefits of any kind, it's aimed at people who are working and paying full rent in social housing.
There is a cap on housing benefit though so I doubt that she'll be having £1900pm paid for her will she?
It has confused me as it states it will be used to bring down the 12m of benefit savings though, I can't see how that will happen if these people are working and paying rent, where is the saving?
