Too much chocolate

has had me surfing the internet on on hyperdrive. I note that the issues about the Local Housing Allowance, that many of us have seen coming, are starting to raise concerns according to a article on the BBC website. Many clients that I have seen want the rent paid direct to the landlord, but of course they can't. Also Inside Housing has a similar article, how landlords are stopping renting to those on benefit due to LHA.
Again another piece of government action that hasn't been thought through and doesn't help clients.
No doubt I'll start seeing cases where clients are evicted as they have spent the rent money

And just to add a further thing to say this legislation is not well thought out read this story, about a man who will have to move out of the room he has lived in for 6 years because LHA doesn't cover the rent of his room but he can have a one bedroom flat at a rent up to £640!
