I still dont know why they call it a tax, if it was, everyone would pay it.
It is simply that Housing Benefit will only pay for what they think you need, not what you have.
And it only applies to council tenants, private tenancies have been that way for ages.
I live alone and have 2 bedrooms, but it doesnt affect me as I am over 60
I also live in a block designated for over 60s.
Lets all have socialism / communism that's what I say, the following paragraph is taken from a long article on social housing in communist countries. Seems to me, the worse you treat your people; the more they think the Sun shines out of your rectum......a bit like the Russians do about Putin and DID about Stalin ( until somebody informed them what "Mugs" he'd make of them ). Treat them too well, or don't give them ALL they want and they show utter contempt.........nobody should have any more than the next person......NO EXCUSES......that's what I say. Lets ALL be miserable happy together..
Industrialization brought more people from rural areas to the cities. As few new housing units were built immediately after the war, an already severe housing shortages became worse. Eventually, chronic housing shortages and overcrowding required an extensive program of new construction. As a result, most communist countries adopted the solution used in the USSR which included strict limits on the living space to which each person was entitled. Generally, each person was entitled to about 9-10 square meters (100 square feet). Often, more than one person had to share the same room. Two or more generations of the same family would often share an apartment originally built for only one nuclear family. There was no space allocated to separate living and dining areas.
Looks like the tories are going down that route,who would have thought it
