Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her department has made of the impact of Taff Rhondda broad market rental area boundaries on different market areas.
No assessment has been made.
Local Housing Allowance rates vary by geographical regions called broad rental market areas. The boundaries of the broad rental market areas in Wales are determined and kept under review by Rent Officers Wales. If they decide that a boundary should change, they can submit a review to the Secretary of State for consideration.
