Nowhere does it say that anyone is getting other than that which they previously had, and for some people they may end up needing less because they will have lost family.
Nor have I seen anything to say this is this any different than if any other housing association or council property was taken out of the housing stock - barring the horrific circumstances in which the change is happening. Those in the property would be rehoused where appropriate.

I have no knowledge of who is to be rehoused, but as the illegals are to receive cash payments, even though they had no right to be in the country, let alone in the tower block, I'm just wondering if this generosity with taxpayers money will extend to being rehoused too.
The legitimate tenants will have passed the housing test, but the hangers on won't. It's well known that illegal immigrants or those whose asylum application has been refused are often helped out by those legally allowed to be in the UK.
Even those there legally and being paid for by NAS are bound to be resented by homeless London born people. Their rent is paid directly by NAS, no forms to complete or benefit caps to worry about. No two child limit as is now the case for British citizens. No Council Tax to worry about, landlords have to pay the bill on properties occupied by Asylum Seekers. Full use of the NHS, with no pesky prescription charges to worry about. Above all, they have somewhere to live!
There's been a bit of a furore at the local Jobcentre. Initially, the Jobcentre said that people would have to sign on and look for work as normal, however, after complaints they have agreed to give people leniency.
