Be careful with that one; nearly 13 years, 2 kids, 6 businesses and 2,500 miles later, mine's still with me.

It may well be, not. But the effect of her decision is that another family is helped.



And I bet you're yet another jealous benefits-basher.

Not jealous at all but I don't believe there has been a solitary post by someone affected by the reduction in HB for a surplus bedroom NOT complaining about the ruling.

My daughter was given a 3 bedroom council house , now due to the "bedroom tax" she is having to move into a 2bedroom house via an exchange - does anyone know if Waveney district council or Flagship housing association help with the cost of a removal van? my daughter is on single parent benefits , thanks for any advice

Phone and ask (or get daughter to phone and ask):

1. Waveney district council.

2. Flagship housing association.

Get an answer from the people directly responsible.

I wonder if she would be 'helping another family' if her benefits had not been reduced? Many people have been unable to see any need to move to a smaller property whilst their spare room/s have been funded by the taxpayer.

I bet she has complained:)

I actually downsized when my dd left home. There was no mention of bedroom tax at that point in time. I done it because it was the right thing to do Free up a 3 bedroom home for a family who needed it to go into a 2 bedroom. Turned out it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.. but that's a different story, needless to say I'm waiting to move again

I personally wouldn't have objected to it if I had to pay it to stay in my 3 bedroom. But I do object to my dd having to pay it for a room she can't access in her wheelchair. It was built as a carer's room, the dd doesn't need an overnight carer at this point in time. However, there are no suitable one bedroom properties available. In fact, she had to move out of her 1 bedroom flat because it couldn't be adapted for her wheelchair.
