Rejected petition Scrap the unfair bedroom tax that forces many vulnerable people into poverty.

The unfair bedroom tax should be scrapped, it forces many vulnerable people into poverty and severely impacts disabled people lives.
Did you know this policy cost the Government more than it actually saves. This tax is blight on UK social cohesion and is a soul destroying tax on poor and disabled

More details

Even tainted blood UK victims have to pay this terrible tax out of the exgratia support payments. It is taking vital monies from the very people who need it most.
The government has lost money on this policy from day one so makes no sense to pursue.
