Housing benefit payment choice could ease debt advice needs

Housing benefit payment choice could ease debt advice needs

- Friday, 23 October 2009

The number of people seeking advice on how to get out of debt could fall if Conservative Party policies towards housing benefit payments are adopted.

The party's recent suggestions that tenants on benefit should be afforded the choice of whether to receive their payments directly or have them sent straight to their landlord has been welcomed by the Child Action Poverty Group (CPAG).

Speaking of the Tory suggestion, Kate Green, chief executive of CPAG, said that the organisation welcomed the "sensible proposal" and urged the government to adopt the idea before going on to highlight the main benefits.

She commented: "Direct payments are a useful budgeting tool for families on low incomes who find juggling food, fuel and school costs on inadequate benefits difficult enough."

According to the Association of Residential Letting Agents, UK landlords have, if possible, been making the most of the recession and increasing the size of their portfolios while house prices are down, reports the Press Association.
