What the petition asks
a lot of people are and have lost their homes due to the bedroom tax family members die or move out of there family home to start new lives and that leaves families under size for the house they live in. then gets crippled with bedroom tax charges in social housing .
people move out for social housing to rent private to avoid bedroom tax.This alone will cost hosing benefit more if they are claiming housing benefit has the rent is a lot more in private rent then social rent.So don't it make it cheaper and easier for the government to abolish bedroom tax? and maybe then people can afford to say in social housing where to rent cost much less and people would not need to ask for Discretionary Housing Payments then/ask for help with finding bonds for new housing
