If you are bidding for properties that implies you are bidding for housing association properties. It is highly unlikely that you and your son will ever win a bid on a 3 bedroom property. The LHA rates are only for private rentals. Housing benefit pays the full rent due on a housing association property even if that rent is higher than the LHA rate but the most you can bid for is a 2 bed property.hi all thanks for the replys
my son and i are in a private rent 2 bed, we recieve a little discretionary payment help as the top up rent is quite a lot
ive been trying for 6 yrs lol to get a council/housing association house local to sons school
thats why i wondered what lha allowance i would recieve if i managed to get a 3 bed to increase what im bidding for?:footie:
