This bedroom tax sucks. Im going to be FORCED from my HOME, into taking a one bed property, as i cant afford to cover the cuts for anything bigger. This means i will no longer be able to have my three kids to stay. My youngest is special needs. he is "highly stressed" at home with his mother and at school etc, yet, when with me, he is so happy and at ease. How many families is this going to tear apart.
Imagine a reform that doesnt recognise Foster Children as part of the family unit. Imagine the reform that forced disabled, who live in specailly adapted homes from their homes. Apart from anything, the smaller properties just do not exist in the required numbers
In ONE council area in north of England, there are currently 2500 people on the waiting list for a one bed property. The council in question, has 16 such properties! What is it going to be like once these reforms kick in next april?
All this is going to acheive, is a lot of people forced from their homes, into inadequate properties, along with a pile of debt and quite possibly homelessness. it is the most VICIOUS peice of legislation by any modern day UK Govt.
