Are they using the LHA figure or the full rent figure?

What is the exact income figures they are using?

These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.

I don't know, is there any way I can request a breakdown of what they are taking into account?

That would have been in the letter they sent you, to say your not entitled to and why.
