3.16 In the long term, we think that there is a good case for moving away from a separate
Housing Benefit system just as we are attracted to the idea of a single working age
benefit. This might eventually mean more integration with other parts of the benefits
system, which would simplify both the rules and administration. This could break down
barriers to work by simplifying the structure of benefit withdrawal rates once in work
together with less severe deduction rates across benefits. It could also allow more
effective, and efficient, integration of the services provided to customers
