Rejected petition: Stop bedroom tax
Rejected on
End bedroom tax stop making life harder for people on benefits who lives in a 2 bed property
People are going without food and heating because they have to pay bedroom tax for a property that was given to them before bedroom tax came about. Some people do not have any family or friends to move in with them or want a stranger moving in. All the bidding for a 1 bed property in the world can get you nowhere. People are suffering, people have mental health issues.
