How long does the LHA rate last for?
Once your award of Housing Benefit has been calculated using the appropriate rate of LHA, this rate will last for 12 months unless there is a change of circumstances that results in a new rate being used (for example, a child is born and you require an extra bedroom). If there has been no change in circumstances, Housing Benefit will be re-assessed after 12 months using the prevailing LHA rate.
