Hi my wife and i got married in August this year, and we have been staying together for over a year before that, we currently stay in a 1 bedroom property, with a sitting room / kitchen (the sitting room and kitchen are together in 1 room), anyways we are in receipt of LHA and get £64 per week, my wife is 19 and is the main claimant, i am the joint claimant and i am 29 . what i was wondering tho is i did the benefits check on HBUpdate and the rate for our post code is £80.77 per week, my wife is pregnant and the property we are in at the moment is not the best and we were hoping to move as soon as possible but if that's all we get rent wise then there isn't much options for us, however if we were getting the £80 per week i could put in the extra to get us a larger and more appropriate accommodation! so i sent an email to the housing and i am awaiting to hear back, but just wondered if anybody would know the reasoning behind this?, and the possible outcome.
thank you
