Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters
How does a debt from the final settlement affect the payment of housing benefits?
If the final settlement shows that the applicant received overpaid housing benefits for the previous year and has an active application for housing benefits, the overpaid benefits will be deducted (never more than 25% each month) from the monthly housing benefit payments, for up to 12 months.
