Rejected petition Stop under-occupancy’ sanction "bedroom Tax" from the Welfare Reform Act 2012

More details

Bedroom-Tax will hammer single/Grand/Foster Parents, the Disabled, the Armed Forces and the Bereaved.

It will not increase the housing stock and improve social mobility. In fact, it will negatively affect those who are affected by this.

I call on the Government to stop the 'bedroom tax' and have a serious debate on how we can improve the housing system in the UK.
