Appealing the Bedroom Tax

nannytone_2

i can only speak from my own experience.

i know 25 year old couples who are in 2 bed social housing.
all the singletons of the same age are either still with parents, or house sharing with friends

No I am not saying that, you are deliberately taking it to extremes. Show me where I have vilified disabled people ?

My understanding is that these benefits are received to help them be equal to "normal people" or however its put then surely if the need for an extra bedroom is due to the disability then it should be paid for by a disability benefit. In the same way that an adapted car is needed for wheelchair users and that is what the mobility component is for.

I put the situation into a calcultator thingy thats what came out.

No deliberate extremes I have given real life examples. Anyway ................

Btw Dumroming I missed off the *e on the end of her so it should have been here....i.e. that you have been here since 7.09 yesterday morning and it is now 1.25 am the next day.

Back to bed for me left the lap top on !!

You've told us many times that social housing is easy to come by in your area but there is no one bedroom properties.

Furthermore, you have said families don't want the abundance of two bedroom flats so turn them down.

Given all that, I'd say it is highly likely there is under 25s occupying two bedroom flats.

well then shame on you!

if you have lived with equal hardship as someone on JSA that has NO choice but to pay the 14% reduction in HB plus upto 30% of council tax....

i would never be in agreement with a policy that will force someone to run a home and feed themselves on as little as £50 a week!

JSA is for people capable of working, so.....just get a job. I was unemployed briefly and I went out and did everything I could to pay my mortgage and pay my bills! There are jobs out there.....ok they may not pay as much as people want, but they are there.

What is it with this society that 'expects' government handouts for doing nothing?!?

Obviously everybody else logs off every time they leave MSE.

My computer is on 24/7 with tabs open for the sites I visit regularly, meaning that when I can take a few minutes' break I can catch up quickly. I don't think that's uncommon.

I do the same when using the desktop but tend to use my phone lately and pop in and out over the course of the day. I'm sure that's common on all forums.

It's becoming mysterywoman's party trick to make a big statement about logging off and having a life etc, followed by more posts!

For some reason, you often feature in her bag of tricks! Must be love!

Unrequited love then.

I leave myself logged in at work most of the time and flick in and out when I'm not doing much

When I go home, I often forget to log out and the thing is still there in the morning *slaps wrists* . I really should get a life.
