im in a private let so dont get affected by the bedroom tax but i pay £600 p/m rent and only get 400 from the job center so need to make up the excess on top of all the other household bills, no wonder so many unemployed turn to growing we need the fucking income, its not like i dont wanna work but as a chef im struggling cos there is about 40 eastern european cunts willing to do the same job for half the wages how can i compete with that
If you have a spare bedroom then you will be affected by it whether they have bothered to inform you or not lol

[h=1]Removal of the Housing Benefit spare room subsidy in the social rented sector[/h] The Welfare Reform Act 2012 announced that the current rules for the size of accommodation that Housing Benefit will cover in the private rented sector will be applied to working age tenants renting in the social sector.
From April 2013 all current and future working age tenants renting from a local authority, housing association or other registered social landlord will receive Housing Benefit based on the need of their household.
The size criteria allows one bedroom for each person or couple living as part of the household with the following exceptions:

  • Children under 16 of the same gender are expected to share
  • Children under 10 are expected to share regardless of gender
  • A disabled tenant or partner who needs a non-resident overnight carer will be allowed an extra room.
  • Foster carerswill be allowed one additional room, so long as they have fostered a child or become an approved foster carer within the last 52 weeks.
  • Parents with adult children in the armed forces (or reservists) who normally live with them will be able to retain the bedroom for that adult child when they are deployed on operations
Guidance was also sent to local authorities on 12 March 2013 to confirm that they should follow case law (Burnip/ Gorry/ Trengove) and allow a room for a disabled child who is unable to share a bedroom.
This means those tenants whose accommodation is larger than they need may lose part of their Housing Benefit. Those with one extra bedroom will have a 14 per cent reduction applied to their eligible rent and those with two or more extra bedrooms will have a 25 per cent reduction applied.

Also there are ways round the bedroom tax, DHP payments, also its only bedrooms that are penalised, so if you remove the bed and put a desk n filing cabinet in there it is no longer a bedroom but an "office" therefore you bypass the bedroom tax lol, lots of other ways as well if ya have a mooch round online

the disc housing payment have only got 20,000 spaces for ap;plicant, nd u know 90% of that will be them dirty nigger pakis
Thats just the bollocks they spew to stop people applying, if you submit an application for DHP it has to be seriously considered on that cases individual factors(i.e. if you qualify for DHP then you qualify for DHP and they have to give a very good reason not to accept your claim and pay it), and I think you can also appeal any decision they make

i have been in private rentals for 8 years now and been getting roughly the same housing benefit for the last 3 years that i been unemployed i asked abut the bedroom tax in job center a cpl months ago and was told it wouldnt affect me as im with a private landlord, ive still been getting my usual rate since the tax came in and not been told its gonna change anytime soon, not that im complaining as i'd be royally fucked if i had anymore outgoings each month, its hard enough with rent, bills, car finance, insurance etc
