Prisoner and deduction from housing costs
This may well have been covered before / be blindingly obvious but if it is I can’t see it….
Is it possible for DWP to make deductions from the housing costs element of a short-term prisoner who is only entitled to that element? The deduction is around 15% of the housing costs due.
Could it be bedroom tax/LHA restriction?
Thanks for the reply but it’s not that.
