The Mayor proposed an exemption to the cap on housing benefit for families with children of school age, working families and people receiving or providing care locally. Would the additional payments of housing benefit over the level of the cap be paid for by on-going central government funding streams or for Discretionary Housing Payments money that local authorities receive?
