All the more reason to keep campaigning.
A clear difference in policy between the Coalition and Labour – shame there aren’t a few more. If you’re in the vicinity and free on 5 April please consider joining in.
Hated, unjust and unworkable. One year on the Bedroom Tax is still there – but only just. Campaigning locally and nationally has had an effect.
* In Scotland the Tax has been defeated.
* Pressure has meant the Labour Party has promised they will abolish the tax.
* Birmingham City Council has admitted 3000 people in long term tenancies had benefits taken away in error and they will be given a rebate.
*Court cases have ruled in favour of disabled couples having separate rooms if they wish, and in favour of separated parents needing a room for visiting children, and that a room must be in use as a bedroom to count as a bedroom. These cases could see hundreds of thousands given rebates due to unlawfully having their benefit cut
