We are providing more support for benefit claimants in the Private Rented Sector by increasing Local Housing Allowance rates, helping to alleviate affordability challenges. (3/5)
We are temporarily relaxing the Minimum Income Floor for all self-employed

Carers won’t lose out on their entitlement during the
#Coronavirus outbreak due to a break because of isolation. They will continue to receive their Carers Allowance in full during this time. (5/5)
