Exempt disabled people living in adapted properties from the bedroom tax

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should exempt disabled people living in properties that have been adapted for their needs from the bedroom tax, so they don't have to move homes.
They are already suffering and have enough stress and pain without frequently having to apply for discretionary housing payments, and they may be refused the payments. But they are unable to move because the property has been adapted for their specific needs to live independently.
