This paper examines the effect of Housing Benefit on income distribution on the basis of data contained in the 1988 Family Expenditure Survey. Household income has been adjusted by means of equivalence scales so that like is compared with like. The results indicate that, though Housing Benefit makes a relatively small impact overall, it has a significant role in reducing income inequality among renters.
