Published on

The National Landlords Association has urged the Government to rethink its proposals for reform of Local Housing Allowance (LHA).
This follows the publication of the Work and Pensions Select Committee report into LHA.

The NLA agrees with the Committee as it came out strongly against the Government’s proposal to make direct benefit payments conditional on energy efficiency which it said had the potential to do “more harm than good””.
