This seems really harsh

[Victoria Silverman]

Judge rules against grandparents keeping their second bedroom where they look after their disabled teenage grandson: http://www.itv.com/news/update/2014-05-30/couple-lose-high-court-appeal-over-bedroom-tax/

The bedroom tax means people in social housing can’t have spare rooms and must move if they do, but it ignores that where they live is their home (and sometimes they’ve lost a partner or child in the house or need the room for grandchildren). Government can’t be saving much money through this and are causing sorrow.

Harsh. 🙁
