I would be grateful of some advice about my son. He is claiming JSA and Housing Benefit. He lives in a bedsit by himself in Bromley and pays £120 per week rent. He has been awarded £80.23 per week for Housing Benefit which appears to be the maximum for a 'Shared Bedroom'. Is this correct or should he be entitled to the 1 bedroom rate which is a maximum of £153.30 ? I have looked at the Valuation Office Agency site but find it all very confusing. TIA
