Joint tenants have the LHA rate applied to their Housing Benefit claim based on the size of their family, including any non-dependants and boarders/lodgers. A single customer (irrespective of their age) sharing facilities will receive the shared accommodation rate of LHA, subject to the £15 weekly excess limit, if the LHA rate is more than their share of the contractual rent.
