Lone Pensioner Allowance (LPA) was introduced on 1st April 2008 and is administered jointly by Land and Property Services (LPS) and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE). LPS is responsible for processing applications from ratepayers who own their own home whilst NIHE is responsible for processing applications from ratepayers who rent their homes. Ratepayers aged 70 or over and living alone may be entitled to a 20% reduction in their rates. LPS holds details on individual awards of LPA made by LPS and on the total amount of LPA awarded by NIHE at Northern Ireland level.
