Newcastle Council Attempting To Bribe Tenants Away From #BedroomTax Tribunals

February 26, 2014

Readers, I don’t know if I’m allowed to do any more than link to this story. So I won’t take any chances.

However, I do know it’s well worth a read.

I’ll sum it up in a sentence. Newcastle Council are offering DHPs to tenants who have appealed against bedroom tax decisions and are suggesting that they reconsider their benefit tribunal appeals.

I don’t think that’s very fair, do you?

    Got it. Thanks. Very interesting. My guess is that they figured it’s cheaper to give them the money than pay for a lawyer to fight the appeals! 🙂
