Introduction
1. This circular is to inform you of additional funding of £20.4 million that will be allocated to local authorities (LAs) to support the costs of delivering Welfare Reform changes in 2021 to 2022.
2. The funding is intended to meet New Burdens incurred by LAs as a result of the following areas of Welfare Reform:
- Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) administration
- benefit cap
- Single Fraud Investigation Service (SFIS)
- Universal Credit (UC) New Burdens including:
- HB maintenance on a UC case
- natural migration to UC
3. Funding for HB/UC claim activities for 2021-22 is based on the estimated level of resource required to administer the impact of HB cases moving to UC.
4. Any increase or decrease in UC New Burdens funding for 2021-22 are as a result of a change in methodology (see individual activities below).
5. The funding is to cover an increase in LA costs for HB cases and does not support Local Council Tax Reduction. The funding for Council Tax related expenditure is administered by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the devolved administrations.
Funding and payments details
6. In order to provide transparency, a breakdown of the total funding is given in the table below and detailed in Annex A:
| Area of activity | Funding distribution relates to/supports | Funding |
|---|---|---|
|
DHP administration: This New Burden funding relates to the costs incurred by LAs in administering the DHP scheme in England and Wales. For 2021 to 2022 this funding is made up of 3 components: 1) £10.6 million – carrying forward the 2020 to 2021 allocations (applying the existing DHP administration methodology). 2) £2.6 million – transfer of the existing benefit cap New Burden (applying the existing DHP administration methodology to allocate). 3) £2.5 million – an increase in DHP administration funding for 2021 to 2022 (allocated by each LA’s proportion of the total DHP Government Contribution as advised in circular HB S4/2021). |
– | £15.7 million |
| Benefit cap | This New Burdens funding relates to the extra costs of delivering the benefit cap regulations. The funding has been allocated to LAs based on the expected benefit cap caseload under HB and UC in 2020 to 2021. | £0.6 million |
| SFIS | This New Burden funding is for costs associated with providing information to DWP to support fraud investigations. The funding has been allocated on the basis of the 2020 to 2021 HB caseloads. | £0.6 million |
| UC New Burdens: HB maintenance on a UC Case | Reflects the cost of additional activities required to support UC claimants that are living in temporary or supported accommodation and receive their Housing costs through HB, ensuring the correct passporting status is maintained on those claims. The calculation incorporates an element to include complex cases. | £1.5 million |
| UC new burdens: Natural migration to UC | Reflects the additional costs incurred by LAs moving claimants from Legacy benefits to UC including the additional administrative cost of transferring details of claimant HB debt to DWP for recovery. Following a review of UC New Burdens this level of funding has been reduced to reflect the improvement to the MGP1 process and a reduction in the required number of returned forms to UC. | £2 million |
7. This funding is intended to meet the identified costs arising from the delivery of the above measures in 2021 to 2022.
Key points
8. Each element of the funding has been distributed amongst LAs on a basis that reflects the likely distribution of costs, as indicated in the table above. The aggregate allocations are included in the attached Annex A.
9. Each LA will receive their allocations in the week commencing 19 April 2021.
