Write to your MP supporting the uprating of Local Housing Allowance

The Autumn Budget on 28th October 2026 is an opportunity for the UK Government to uprate Local Housing Allowance so that it reflects real rents and covers the lowest 30% of the local private rented market.

By writing to your MP and encouraging them to lobby Pat McFadden, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, to support uprating LHA in the Budget, you will help hundreds of thousands of older people with their rental costs.
