BRMAs showing LHA rates

This data sets out information on the size and shape of England's Broad Rental Market Areas (BRMAs) and the rates of Local Housing Allowance (LHA) set for that area. The notes below explain more about what a BRMA and what Local Housing Allowance are, and how both the areas and the rates are set. The information comes from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) and is available online at www.gov.uk . Claimants should seek advice about their individual claims from their local authority Housing Benefit Department. The VOA provides a search facility to help applicants identify the relevant LHA for them. This search is based on postcode and property size.
