Slightly different JR.
You have the option to sell and downsize if you wish or stay in the family home. You are also well enough to work. Many are not who are suffering this.
Cameron can dress up the 'tax' anyway he wants but it is still a tax on extra bedrooms otherwise why didn't he just cut the benefits instead of making it a cut if people had an extra bedroom.
Be interesting to see who is going to pay for the removal of the people being affected - or are they expected to move on a wheelbarrow!
Are they expected to live without carpets and curtains, no washing machine as they can't afford to pay someone to re-connect.
There is another issue which goes far far deeper than just pay up or move out.
It is an emotional issue and borders on emotional abuse to me, we see people in other countries turfed out of their homes and made to move to another country - our government sends money.
If they wanted people to pay extra for bedrooms it should have been started with the new tenants and a much lower percentage.
As I have said before Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will our countries money problems
As it been thought out fully - I think not.
Just as the ESA discriptors and PIP discriptors haven't which is why so many are appealing against being put into the WRAG and being put into the support group.
