Abolish the Bedroom Tax

What the petition asks
The Government put a tax on those claiming benefits, who have an extra room. However, it's unfair as there are shortages of ALL sized properties so are taxing those of us who are already on low income without foundation.
Stop penalising those who find themselves with extra bedrooms, it's not practical without extra support from HA's and Councils, and is therefore grossly unfair.
