    My understanding of housing benefit, is that it is set locally to take into account local valuations - it's called "Local Housing Allowance".
    Dover and Folkestone valuation is set by the rating office in Folkestone and it is what local authorities will pay towards people's rent, so if the rent is above a certain level, the people will only get a part of it.

    For example; my brother's rent is £600, Shepway (or Dover) will pay £51.30 per week towards that rent, but it is only for 3 months, then they may pay some , they may not, it's discretionary.

    If the London Boroughs are setting their valuations too high or too low, it will of course affect their benefits.
