Council tenants on Housing Benefit receive a rent rebate which means that their rent due is reduced by the amount of that rebate. Private and social housing tenants usually receive Housing Benefit (or rent allowance) personally, although sometimes it is paid direct to the landlord.’		[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-housing-survey-2020-to-2021-headline-report English Housing Survey, Headline Report, 2020-21], published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2021, defines housing benefit as: ‘A benefit that is administered by local authorities, which is designed to assist people who rent their homes and have difficulty meeting their housing costs.
