Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people have (a) begun and (b) stopped paying the under-occupancy penalty in 2014-15 to date.

We published an analysis of the changes to the number of people subject to a reduction in their Housing Benefit award from May to December 2013. This was published here:

It is not possible at this time to update this information within the disproportionate cost limit. I will however consider if an update can be published in the future.
