OP saidtboo said:You said you moved to a 3 bedroom on the basis of medical evidence.Was the housing department aware of this to offer the bigger property in the 1st place?
As I understand it OP was advised he would qualify for HB for a three bedroom property but HB have since failed to apply their own advice and have instead applied the bedroom tax.Sparkleon said:..d I have the proof of letter I received from my local housing to say that I was entitled to the 3 bed.But the local housing saying they are entitled doesn't mean they are.The LA HB team determine that.Anyway, the op needs to get in touch with the HB dept. and get it sorted.

Does the OP mean housing benefit when she says local housing or does she mean the council rent department?
Are the two joined up or did she need to advise HB separately?0
