Answer
This policy affects Universal Credit recipients only, not Housing Benefit recipients.
I was provided with comprehensive advice with respect to this measure which enabled me to fully comply with my Public Sector Equality Duty and am satisfied there are no significant issues that were not sufficiently mitigated by the exemptions that we have put in place.
