    Mobile homes / caravana are exempt from LHA so incorrect to use that figure.

    If your claim is accepted, your rent will be referred to the Valuation Offuce and you will not receive benefit for charges such as gas or water which may be included in your rent

    We tell the rent officer that water is included and make a deduction. In my LA, it's £2.16 per week for a standard van
