The CSJ analysis assumed two parents aged 30, both unemployed for at least two years and with three children under 16, renting a two-bed council property on the World’s End Estate, an SW10 postcode.
Based on their estimated eligible rent, the calculations show the family would be eligible for £2,191 each month in Universal Credit, Council Tax Support and Child Benefit. If they were paying £898 a month in social housing rent, rather than up to £3,000 if they were renting on the open market, the combined value of the discounted rent and cash benefits would be worth around £51,500 a year.
£51k is equal to a working wage of £70k prior to tax and NI.
