Housing benefit challenge fails

This certainly is a government for all isn't it, absolute disgrace. Evil is a terrible word but this policy is verging on it. :ermmm

I agree with the idea that social housing with spare rooms should be given up, but the mindless manner in how this situation is being handled is all wrong.

I agree if one person is living in a property with 2 or more bedrooms, in a perfect world then they could be moved to a one bedroom property. But there are just not enough of these, nowhere near enough. But they could easily have said for people with disabilities or who are genuinely ill and need a carer, this does not apply...woud have been so easy...if they had a heart...if they had one.
