How does Housing benefit work?

[grandmashotdoodlebugs]

I may be unreasonable for not knowing ! So I am sorry if I am...

So my question is a single man who is on benefits. What and how is housing benefit paid that would enable him to live in a one bedroom accommodation costing a monthly rent of £750?

I need a lesson and if I come across as judgmental then yes, I am being unreasonable.

@Tealightsandd I appreciate your understanding

I don't think he is being housed anymore. He was for sure, 40 miles away. He has moved much much closer to me.... and issued court against me for contact (currently denied). Again, I think he is "employed" as he wouldn't have been able to fund the court fee. He was definitely on someone's payroll as CMS said they have evidence of income at £500 a week!!! But as soon as they attempted to DEO, he was back on benefits.
I also don't like the fact the property he resides in was sold on the open market the exact same month he stopped benefits and the flat rate of £6 per week stopped.
During his employment, CMS collected precisely £0.
So if he is back on benefits, where is he living, who owns it and how is he paying for it ???

@BusyLizzie61 I have filled in the gingerbread survey, the House of Lords survey and I was invited to complete the MORI survey.

None of these will illicit change I'm sure of it.

However, I do intend to be a thorough pain in the arse to CMS and will send evidence to them of everything if I can find things out.
Then appeal their decision at every turn. I copy my MP in and most likely piss them off too.

But I am building a story of just how bad the system it.

The universal credit rate is £411 per month for an adult over 25. If his LHA rate is £148 then he'll get £641 towards housing too. So £1052 approx in benefits, even if he's not working at all. And he can work and earn £250 a month and it won't reduce his UC award at all. So if his rent is only £750, unless he's having flash holidays etc, his expenditure seems like it's plausible it's all funded from UC/the bare minimum of work which is under £250 a month and declared to UC.

@selflove thank you

I think land registry can tell you who owns a property, for a fee.
