I'm getting really worried about my rent going up this year. It keeps rising every year yet the local housing allowance is frozen for this year! Why won't the government address this. There's over a £250 difference to what the government say I should be paying to what the going rate is in this area. My landlord is trying to move my rent towards the higher end of that. It's frightening. I've painted her room and made a home for us, I can't afford to move. Even if I did, how can I afford it with only £475 LHA???
