Local housing allowance rates
Current local housing allowance rates for Hinckley and Bosworth
England is split into broad rental market areas (BRMA) which are decided by the Valuation Office Agency. Where you live determines which 'broad rental market area' you live in. A fixed rate of local housing allowance (LHA) is payable within one BRMA. Local housing allowance rates are updated every April. BRMAs are not the same as local authority areas - usually one BRMA covers a number of councils. In some cases, a local authority contains two or more BRMAs, as the boundaries are not the same.
