Abolish Bedroom Tax on all Council Properties

Petition Details

This Bedroom Tax is affecting thousands of families all across the UK, when it was originally imposed there was a lot of debate to abolish it and yet this has not been done.

Additional Information

This affects everyone living in social housing; disabled, welfare recipients, and those who work. If you live in a council property and have any spare bedrooms, you will be forced to pay the tax whatever your personal situation may be; even if you have lived in that property for up to 22 years.

The government has decided that:

* Any single person aged 16 or over needs their own bedroom.
* A couple need a bedroom.
* A child needs a bedroom BUT.....
* A boy and a girl are expected to share a bedroom if they are both under 10.
* 2 boys or 2 girls are expected to share if they are both under 16. See below for examples.
* Foster children are not taken into account
* Children who stay with you part of the time aren’t taken into account.
