No they will not. Anybody already receiving Housing Benefit will not be affected by the changes. Their Housing Benefit will continue under the existing rules and you as the landlord can continue to receive the payments if this is what your tenant has chosen. When your tenant changes address (even if this is to a different place in the same building) they will then move under the new Local Housing Allowance rules. If they have a break in their claim, for at least one week, their new claim will be calculated using the Local Housing Allowance regulations.
