Julian Little- Died Battling #BedroomTax Red Tape
A KEMSING man has died battling red tape while struggling to recover from a series of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
Julian Little, 47, was reeling after he faced the Government’s new bedroom tax even though his spare room had been converted into a dialysis facility by health chiefs.
He feared he would have to slash his household bills by 30 per cent to make up the shortfall in his income because the authorities still viewed his bungalow in Norman Close as having two bedrooms.
He told the Chronicle that moving to a smaller property would not be an option because the needed room for the medical equipment. He said: “Put simply, if I downsize, I die.”
Just days later he passed away.
His wife Melissa, 42, said: “He wasn’t well and his death was complicated.” She said she did not know if the stress of the situation had anything to do with it.
Mr Little moved into the Kemsing bungalow more than a decade ago after suffering a stroke which put him in a wheelchair. In the following years he had ‘several’ other strokes, three heart attacks, kidney failure and he lost some toes to diabetes.
He and Mrs Little had originally lived at the address with their daughter Tabitha but when she got married and moved away, the space was utilised by Guys Hospital for his lifesaving kit.
In his last conversation with the Chronicle he said he faced being taxed “for being ill and suffering from a condition I have no control over”.
