Discretionary Housing Payment
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
A Discretionary Housing Payment is a discretionary and short-term payment made in the United Kingdom that helps people with their housing costs.[1] To get a Discretionary Housing Payment a person must be in receipt of Housing Benefit or Universal Credit. Application is to the Local Authority. Central-government regulations and guidance require each Local Authority to make decisions on a case-by-case basis but also to have a policy.
A similar Exceptional Hardship Payment exists.
