London Blind Man’s #BedroomTax Victory
September 24, 2013
This is very good news, particularly for me, as I live in London.
When is a bedroom, not a bedroom? Well according to the law, when it is being used for storage.
Why does it matter? Well it matters to anyone hit by the government’s so-called Bedroom Tax.
In the first case of its kind in England, Londoner Surinder Lall’s lawyers argued his spare bedroom was actually being used to store vital equipment to help with his disabilty, arguing his full housing benefit should be reinstated. He won.
