Appendix 1 - Subsistence Payments

30.1 Subsistence payments are not intended to cover full costs, as these costs would still have to be met if the tenant lived at home.

30.2 Where tenants must move out due to damage or neglect, they are usually not entitled to subsistence payment.

30.3 WHBC will make payments directly to the hotel or B&B at regular intervals throughout the stay for the cost of the accommodation.

30.4 Subsistence payments will be made directly into the tenant’s bank account.

30.5 All subsistence payments cease when the tenant is due to return to their home address.

30.6 Subsistence payments are not paid if the tenant has access to kitchen facilities to store and prepare their own food.
