I am sure this has been posted somewhere already but I just can’t fing=d it and it isn’t in the Handbook or Zebedee and Ward

When the single room rate is applied to under 35 year olds in 2012 will the current exceptions (care leavers, gets the SDP etc ect ) still apply to them or are the exceptions changing as well?

Thanks
