Costs of Housing Benefit (now renamed " Local Housing Allowance") are a major smokescreen to vilfy Benefit claimants. Don't forget the money goes to Councils or Buy-to-let landlords, NOT into the pockets of claimants. To make it seem that it does, it is now paid into claimants bank accounts via Universal Credit. Claimants must then pay it to Councils Or Landlords.
How often do we see "Benefit family living in £1million Kensington house"? Are people gullible enough to think the £1million house belongs to them? It would appear many do....
The Benefit Cap just makes it impossible for claimants to live in areas where rents are high. So this is a purge of the poor from "rich" areas.
Other Benefit changes mean many unemployed or low-income youngsters are unable to move out of the family home, so the Cap might hit that household hard just because more people are living there.

Anyway, the letter arrived today, the DWP have accepted the Tribunal's decision, and my son is going to get PIP until Feb 2022.
But the "review" will start again in Feb 2021, by when it is expected that the DWP will have tightened each rule, and interpretation of that rule, to their own benefit.
