I just find the whole idea absolutely crazy

So you can't have a spare room and have visitors
 We have a housing crisis, there are not the properties available to allow downsizing....
I don't like to bring immigration into it, but facts must be faced......
Where are all the thousands of single immigrants from wherever living......in properties that people wishing to downsize could move into?? If not, then I assume every town is full of thousands of people sleeping rough or everyone has purchased or rented their own property. Again, taking homes out of the system for people already here.
How long will it be that us private home owners like me with a spare room are told to move out.

all i know is that this is what the letters from the goverment and council have stated so read it the way you want all i know is that if i dont get discrepancy paymenta i will have to pay this means that 2 days aweek nwithout electric and gas and our food bill will have to come down bi 29 pound per week this is how we have aorked out our budjet ie_ somuch for food /gas /electric /water rates and so on this never changes from month to month we got 1% rise in our benefits this byear thats esa my wife got 1% rise in her carers allowence wich ment that my esa actualy went down by 65p work that one out i agree that the deficit has to come dpwn but its too easy to pick on people like me who cant fight back no thought has been given to genuine disabled peopke we are all been treat like we are fidleing the system

I'm with you on this ozzycat. My wife and I are both disabled, but fortunately I can still walk and get about, but she can't. We have just bought our 3 bedroom bungalow, because it allowed 1 bedroom for our son, 1 for the wife, and the other is stuffed with her equipment i.e. electric lift, commode, 2 wheelchairs, bath lift etc... Me ? I sleep in the lounge..

I absolutely agree, but in this instance why should people in private rented accomodation (because no social housing is available), be treated differently from those in social housing.

The Government (Tories) are well aware that even if people wished to move (which most do not) there is a dearth of smaller properties available for them to move to.

Therefore this is simply a tax on the poorest in society.

Are people not allowed a spare room for when friends and family visit?. Sadly not, according to the nasty party.

Meanwhile, Cameron and Osborne will be pushing for a tax cut for the super rich.........and telling Europe that a cap on bankers bonus payments of 100% ( which all 26  EU countries agreed to apart from us) is not acceptable.

It's a crazy world.

Sadly not for those renting privately, a policy brought in by the last Labour government

I read somewhere that the council tax benefits sytem is changing.
It will soon be called the coucil tax support scheme
The scheme will expect working age residents at the moment receiving full C/T benefit to contribute 8.5% of their yearly bill.
They will need to do this, because government has sliced 10% from council  funding.
Pensioners & people with disabilities will not be affected.

[ozzycat]

yes we will as from april 2014 we will have to pay 25% of our council tah wich is about £300 thats not too bad its the bedroomtax wicch is imposible for us to pay its about £1100 ayear out of £6000 we get in benefits

it says that people that have foster kids and people who have kids in the armed forses dont have to pay people with disabilitys have to apply for dicretionsly  paments to the local council but theres no funding provided for this and we will more than likely get turned down but if youve got rent arears you get it  cant put a link up because i dont know how to do it sorry
