Universal credit, social housing and lodgers

The proposal seems bonkers. How is it going to work? They claim income from a lodger will be disregarded.

So £400 social rent for a two bedroom home. Let one room to a lodger for £200. One room excess = 14% = £56 on this £400 flat.

But this means the pair pocket an extra £144 PER MONTH. Two people on the dole get to share £144 penalty free on top of their JSA.

How on earth is this going to work? What am I getting wrong?
