Good morning
A Housing Benefit query for this sunny Monday morning. Our housing stock is
being transferred to an RSL which comprises our existing Housing Department
and they are seeking access to the Housing Benefit database to establish the
following:
Benefit suspended
In work / out of work
JSA allowance award
Lodgers joining/leaving household
Dependant children starting work
RTB checks
Succession requests following death of a partner or family member
Prior to serving nosps for rent arrears and court action to check the
current status of benefit claims
Have other authorities allowed access in these circumstances? The OIC's
advice was predictable - if there is housing legislation that gives the
power to share, then it's OK as long as the DP principles are observed.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Jackie
