Bedroom tax pushed back to summer?

Hi all

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere on the board, it's just that someone told me yesterday that the bedroom tax isn't going to be implemented in April after all and is being introduced instead in the summer of 2013.

Does anyone know if this is true?

Comments

  • The Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations has called for a 6 month postponement. However, as far as I am aware, it's still on schedule for implementation in April 2013.
  • The overall benefit cap is been pushed back, but the bedroom tax is still going ahead as normal.
    I work as a Housing Benefit assessor, any advice given is for general information purposes only. It is not, and should not be construed as, financial or other professional advice.
