It is based on average rents in your local authority. As you said, under 35, you are only entitled to what the average rent it for a room in shared accommodation if you are single and no kids.

When the more rent for extra bed room thing comes in, those on housing benefit to which it applies will have there benefit reduced. Only right too, when you are getting support from the state it should be the absolute bare minimum paid out for the needs.
