3 Summary and observations
4 Budget and AS welfare cuts Description April 2016 million April 2017 million Freeze working age benefits and LHA for 4 years Reduce benefit cap to 20, Reduce and simplify UC work allowances Updated UC delivery schedule Limit backdating in HB to four weeks 10 * Reduce social sector rents by 1% for four years Limit child element in TC /UC to two children 315 Limit social sector rates to equivalent LHA rate - - Remove family element/ premium in TC/UC/HB End HB for most out-of-work year olds Abolish WRA component in ESA 55
5 General observations - 1 Designed to not result in direct losses New claims and failure to uprate Existing awards much less harder hit No attempt at external policy justification Target large families Mainly non-housing cost income Applies to in-work and out-of-work families Work does not pay as much but gap between existing benefits and UC is maintained
6 General observations - 2 Some of the smallest savings are likely to cause the biggest disruption End help with housing costs for year olds Benefit cap HB backdating limit four weeks Mainly losses to household income rather than direct help with rent Potential losses to household income far greater than bedroom tax
7 Net effect: personal incomes
8 Tax and pay in 2016 Tax personal allowance: 1.54 National insurance threshold: 0.24 Minimum wage 50p per hour rise ( 6.70 to 7.20) for 35 hour week Social tenant above HB: 1.00 for each 100 of rent

20 Family premium: social rented Family premium in East Midlands: social rent 3678, 13% In-work 16+ hours Other non-passport 23828, 87%
21 Larger families New claims/new born (hypothetical losses) 2017 onwards for new claims/ new born: for each child over two (tax credits) (tax credits and partial HB) Protected: break in claim up to 6 months But if protected more then more likely to be affected by the revised benefit cap

23 Benefit Cap: outside London Start April 2016 phased Out of work (under 100 per week) Single: from 350 to 258 per week Couple/lone parent: 500 to 385 per week More affected in early years because benefit income is higher (most TC/HB cuts are new claims only) Housing three child family in private rented becomes difficult
24 per week Current cap Single Couple Couple + 1 Couple + 2 Couple + 3 Couple + 4 JSA Child Benefit Child Tax Credits Maximum Housing Costs
25 per week Cap 2017 for new claims Single Couple Couple + 1 Couple + 2 Couple + 3 Couple + 4 JSA Child Benefit Child Tax Credits Maximum Housing Costs

36 LHA freeze for four years LHA covers bottom 30% of the market If rent inflation outstrips uprating index the available market shrinks If uprating frozen shrinkage rate accelerates Previous uprating restrictions 2013/14 capped at CPI 2014/15 and 2015/16 limited to 1% Rent inflation at 3% for four years will make rent virtually unaffordable (<10% of market)
37 Northampton BRMA 2016 Property type Shortfall on 30 th LHA rate 2015 Actual 30 th percentile Shared One bed Two bed Three bed Four + bed
38 Areas at risk multiple sizes 30 Three or more property sizes virtually unaffordable Number of councils North East North West Yorkshire East Midlands 0 West Midlands East of England London South East South West
39 Property sizes at risk 60.00% Virtuallly unaffordable: councils v caseload (% ) 50.00% 40.00% 30.00% % of councils % of caseload 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% 1 room 1 bed 2 bed 3 bed 4 bed
40 Other measures
41 One per cent rent decrease Assumption: inflation at 1.5%, x at 1% Over 30 years expect to collect 44 times rent roll in nominal terms 36 times rent roll in real terms With one per cent decrease for four years Nominal loss 5½ times rent roll Real loss 4½ times rent roll (circa 13%-14%) Bigger losses if long run inflation is higher
42 Pay to stay Households with incomes 30k+ pay a market rent instead of social rent Combined incomes (e.g. two on 15k) Will trap most two child working families in skilled trades on HB/UC until child leaves home
43 End UC HCE for 18-21s New claims for UC HCE from April 2017 Does not apply to: Housing benefit Dependant children In-work Recent work (39 week grace period) Vulnerable (to be defined shared accommodation rate rules) In scope in Nottingham: 239 (96 if JSA only) social tenants 130 (73 if JSA only) private sector tenants
44 Other changes to UC Seven UC waiting days (3 August 2015) Revised delivery schedule New claims for legacy benefits extended to June 2018 Transfer of residual legacy caseload by 2021 Align minimum income floor with NLW (April 2016) Lone parent work conditionality once youngest child turns age three years (April 2017)

46 1,410 6,400 18,660 31,700 30,370 58,970 ESA awards by type 70,000 ESA awards Feb 2015 East Midlands 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 contributions based income based 20,000 10,000 0 Assessment phase Work related activity group Support group
47 Conclusions
48 Conclusions Cuts mainly to non-housing costs but to money in householders pocket Make 2010 cuts look minor by comparison Smallest cuts are the most damaging LHA caps damaging for under 35s and supported housing The cap and four year LHA freeze make it difficult to certain family types in PRS
