Exempt Disabled People from having to pay the Spare Room Subsidy (BEDROOM TAX)

Additional Information

Under the Act, Housing Benefit criteria now take into consideration the number of rooms and number of people occupying a property and restrict payments to allow for one bedroom per person or per couple. If it is deemed that there are too many rooms in a rented dwelling for the number of occupants, an "under-occupancy penalty" is applied which reduces housing benefit by 14% for one extra room and by 25% for two or more extra bedrooms.
