This just means we need to build more social housing to meet this need. However for those people who need their larger accommodation, eg people with disabilities or looking after an elderly relative etc., it is plain wicked to impose this crazy tax. Imagine the uproar if we looked at owned occupied homes an said you have to sell up and move/ or pay double council tax for instance, if you have more bedrooms than you "need". Residents in Social housing shouldn't be treated as second class citizens.

IDS states that its unfair that people in private dwellings don't get paid for the full house if there are surplus rooms to their use, Ie 1 person in a 3 bedroom house, in the same way that a council tenant got, usage of a full property paid for.

These rules however, were origionally brought in to combat greedy landlords who would ramp up the rent if they knew a person was claiming benefit.

The world is a sorrier place when rules origanaly brought in to combat greedy and unscrupuolous landlords are being twisted to punish poor people, the question of enough housing goes directly to the tory policy of selling council property and Margerat Thatchers direct policy on not allowing councils to re-build new property not to people wishing to have a suitable property in which to have a family life.

This policy punishes me for having a property and an extra room so I can have my mother and father and son with his girlfriend visit.

As a direct result of this policy I feel that I am being subjected to bigoted attack from the government looking down on plebs.

I will never vote tory again.

They are likely therefore to need rehousing and there aren't enough smaller properties available unless they go private which is likely to cost even more, which they can't afford!! Meanwhile they will probably become stressed out,causing all sorts of health problems which will cost the taxpayer yet more in NHS charges, when will you guys see sense?

In post war Britain it was considered that a household was overcrowded if two children of the opposite sex had to share a bedroom if one was 10 years old or more. Are we now worse off than the austere 1950's ?
