What is the Local Housing Allowance limit (ie the max rent payable in benefits) for that number of bedrooms in the area concerned?

If they're charging less than that rate, set by reference ot the lowest 30% of market rates then they're clearly mugging themselves.
However the vagaries of the Rental Market Areas could well mean that the maxima for Dales villages are set by reference to rents in an area including the roughest bits of Bradford and Keighley.
