A report commissioned by the National Housing Federation has found that-

· 84% of associations believe that rent arrears will increase as a direct result of welfare changes. The average increase expected is 51%, which, if replicated across the sector, would mean an additional £245m of arrears. 

· More than half of associations (57%) believe that their tenants know   hardly anything or nothing at all about the benefit changes.

· The size criteria (bedroom tax) is anticipated to have a significant impact for more than 60% of associations and for direct payments the figure is 80%.
