1 Apr 1991 Jahr - Accommodation Benefit - changed

Beschreibung:

From this time the entry threshold for the Accommodation Benefit was set to reflect the relevant benefit rate, rather than the Invalids Benefit rate. For non-beneficiaries the entry threshold was aligned to the Invalids Benefit rate.

The impact of the benefit rate reductions and aligning the entry threshold to the relevant benefit rate resulted in some people receiving less than the maximum amount receiving an increase in their weekly rate of Accommodation Benefit.

Maximum rates of Accommodation Benefit remained at $41 per week for single people and $68 per week for couples and sole parents (these were linked to the married couple rate of Invalids Benefit which was not reduced).
